As we are preparing to transition over to the new leadership team for BNI Sierra at the end of this month, a few words from our business leaders who has helmed and helped navigate us through this term.
Despite many challenges, we made it through the last 6 months with results that we can be proud of. Thank you to all of you who placed your trust and support in my direction as a new president.
I still remember when I first became the president of Sierra chapter, I spoke about a vision which we are aiming towards building a happy contributing culture. I even wrote an article about the vision 2023.
What’s really important in the speech I gave during the April Closed Door Meeting, is that we got to be hopeful, we got to have a plan and we got to stay focused in executing the plans so that we can achieve success.
I have to admit that it’s easier to say than getting it done. Which is true, in my learning experience along the journey, I noticed that there are many things happening to us or around us, which are beyond our control. They could distract us, and disrupt our plan. Hence, we got to always remind ourselves to stay focused on what we are trying to achieve ultimately.
Once again thank you to the outgoing leaders:
✓ Yee Peng as Vice President (Negative Ion Health Clothing)
✓ Faye Lim as Secretary/Treasurer (Civil Litigation)
✓ Wuan Xin as Network Education Coordinator (Children Entrepreneur Program)
✓ Timothy Liew as Chapter Growth Coordinator (Retail Interior Designer)
✓ Vernon Foo as Event Coordinator (Bio-degradable Packaging)

I am extremely honor when President Voon Fei offered me the position of Vice President 6 months ago. I am grateful that I have been given the opportunity to serve the community and able to work with a remarkable team. Indeed it has been a fruitful 6 months seeing how the team has come together under the leadership of the visionary President Voon Fei, bringing Sierra back to Platinum status
My gratitude to my dedicated Membership Coordinator Committee (MCC) team: Gillian, Damon, Winson, Sashi and Tara, thank you for your contribution in handling all matters relating to membership. I appreciate your selfless support, inputs and patients.
We may be of different ages, from different backgrounds; but we met here, all in pursuit of a common goal, it’s to make Sierra a better place to grow business together.
I will be passing my baton to Tara Chong and I’m confident she is capable to handle the role well. Lastly, I wish the incoming Leadership Team all the best and looking forward to more great things to come.
