Bridging Ideas through Shared Aspirations Last evening, Australian Alumni Singapore (AAS) incoming and outgoing Management Committee (MC) members came together for a casual gathering filled with warm conversations, fresh ideas, and shared aspirations. Beyond getting to know one another better, the evening is also a prelude to a seamless handover, setting the stage for a smooth transition into the new term. With a team diverse in background, industry experience, and alma maters, we’re energised by the possibilities in the year ahead. We had enriching discussions on how we can continue to engage our stakeholders and enhance the value we bring to our alumni community. We were delighted to have Christopher Cheah, the Chair of our Council of Advisors, join us in a show of support for the MC team as we embark on a new term. Added to the evening’s highlights was a surprise drop-in visit from Albert Teo, CEO of Amara Holdings. Albert is an alumnus of The University of Western Australia and has been a steadfast supporter of AAS initiatives.   Stay tuned for our 2025/26 kick-off meeting in April.
