As the president of CAMS-MAC for 2009, I would like to thank the past Presidents and Board Members for their invaluable contribution to make CAMS-MAC a vibrant organization. I will try my best to continue this great tradition. Thank you also to the new board members for their willingness to serve the Society.
As a first generation immigrant, I am well aware of the many barriers posed by our different languages and cultural upbringing. We all share a common root being Chinese. CAMS is a place where we can share our common interests and understanding to break through these barriers. Let us come together regularly to strengthen our friendship, share our knowledge, and serve our community as a unified society.
I would like to take a moment to reflect on our past achievements.
Multiple educational and social programs
Scholarship and mentor programs
Social service programs - our efforts were recognized by an award from the American Liver Foundation.
Let us also dedicate ourselves to continue these great programs.
Finally, I wish to thank all of you who sent their membership applications and dues for 2009. For those of you who have not done so, please download the application form and return it to us as soon as you can.
