Presidents Welcome
Dear Members,
We are fast approaching the end of semester, I hope you have all put in an amazing effort in your current workload so far and will continue to achieve great results for the rest of the semester. It has been a busy time for Golden Key as of late, the end of mentoring social event is occurring. We’ve had a general members social event. And a serious amount of planning and preparation has been underway for the Information sessions and New Members Reception(NMR).
Things are proceeding well for your chapter, we have our next General Meeting on the 29th of May, of which you are always invited to attended and provide feedback. Coming up soon is the International Conference in Atlanta, Georgia; where we will be sending a delegation to show that Griffith University is one of the leading chapters in the Asia-Pacific region.
Once again, your input to the chapter is important so, if there is anything you want to know, or have any ideas for the chapter send an executive or myself an email.
Warm Regards
Sean Costain
