Chapter alumni lunch meeting with Noreen & Karen

The East West Center Alumni Association Chapter of Malaysia hosted a lunch meeting for Noreen and Karen from the East West Center on Wednesday 9th November at Bunga Raya Chinese Restaurant at the Royal Lake Club, Kuala Lumpur.

Here's a nice group photo taken with Noreen's camera:

During the meeting, Karen updated us about affairs of the EWC, the new President etc. Noreen briefed us about programs in other chapters. We told her that the Singapore Chapter has contacted us recently to explore working on joint projects. Noreen said this has indeed been talked about in the conference held in Manila recently. She will continue to work with the various chapters towards this goal.

We also offered to help the EWC in screening applicants for EWC programs, like we used to do with MACEE over the years. Karen said she will bring this matter up with the EWC. We informed them that we have also been doing pre-departure briefing for participants to the EWC programs for many years now and this will continue, as long as EWC connects us with the new participants.
