Dear Members of MPAS,

Leading by example is a management philosophy that is often easier said than done.

MPAS understands this well as our Secretariat operates on an annual budget that is less than the average monthly revenue from a typical member’s magazine!

Nevertheless we have been able to revamp our newsletter to provide you with expanded coverage of our members and industry. Please continue to send your contributions and feedback to grace@mpas.org.sg or tricia@mpas.org.sg by the 20th of each month.

Now if we can launch a digital newsletter, then so can you. But our progress has been greatly aided by the support of MDA’s META program and the addition of some very talented graduates.

In addition to our Executive Director James See and his able colleague Melvin Wong, we have:
• Tricia Lim & Louis Chin supporting Melvin with sales and enquiries;
• Grace Swee producing our newsletter;
• Isaac Chua and Bryna Low developing our LEAD submission;
• Ong Jin Kiat developing our training program; and
• Germaine Li developing our PR and membership program.

I encourage you to learn more about META by visiting www.smf.sg/BusinessCentre/Pages/META.aspx and strengthen your team.

Best wishes for the build of your business,

Andrew Smart
President
