Close to 35 members attended the AGM and it was an uncontested election for the new Executive Committee.

She was steadfast in her role as she took the Council through critical and unprecedented times of massive transitions and change.
“With two very strong Vice Presidents at my side together with the rest of the Executive Committee and the support of our members, I am confident that we can lead the Council forward and continue the momentum that we are on. We will continue the significant role of providing a key platform for people, opportunities and growth, and we can build on FABC’s past achievements and harness our combined skills as we work with Fiji and Australia for our mutually shared goals,” says FABC’s new President Himen Chandra.
