Happy New Year!
2020 marks a new decade and with it, our 20th annual Singapore affiliate conference. We're excited to bring you the biggest and best meeting in August, with more distinguished speakers and participants gathering.
This edition of the newsletter is timed immediately after our annual AGM, where a new Executive Committee convened. It is our largest group to-date, with 34 members drawn from across our industry. Whether outgoing or incoming, we thank all who have volunteered and supported us and look forward to a great year ahead.
As we plan for future events, we seek your input, feedback and involvement to improve and meet your needs! Whether it's learning, social or networking, please let us how how we're doing. Join us at our events or online on our LinkedIn/Facebook sites.
To all who are preparing for the Spring Festival and celebrating the Chinese New Year, we wish you
xīn nián kuài lè!
Best regards,
Your ISPE Singapore Affiliate

| Message from Outgoing President Joseph Micsko |
It's been an eventful year for our Immediate Past President, Joe. After 4 years in Singapore, he relocated to California in Autumn. Thanks Joe for the past 2 years and we wish you well back in the USA!
Dear ISPE SG Affiliate,
These past 2 years as your President has me leaving with a wealth of knowledge I will always treasure. Working with you all has been a fantastic learning experience, and I am thankful for the friendships I have been able to gain. I feel these past two years with you all has made me a more complete and well-rounded leader.
I've learned how to take direction, criticism, and compliments. These are three things I wasn't so great at receiving before, and now I feel as though I can apply that in many different situations.
I've also learned to be open-minded, to value other people's opinions and to consider other ideas along with mine, to end up with a great final result.
Being part of such an amazing Exco team has given me skills I can use in more than just the professional area of my life. My relationships on a personal level are in a better place than they were, thanks to some of the things I've learned from many of you.
I've come to realize that being a part of a community is more than just sharing credit. A team effort takes compromise. When you are on a team you have to at times lead, follow, and more often than not, meet in the middle.
My wish for all of you is to continue to experience success, to feel fulfilled in all you do, and to have nothing but pleasant results with each completed project!
It's been a pleasure leading all of you and I will miss you!!! I take with me fond memories, valuable skills, and I hope one day to leave an impression on others similar to the one you have left on me.
Thank you for all that you have done for me and I look forward to hearing of your future successes.
Joseph Micsko
