PLEASE WATCH OUT FOR MY DECLARATION OF INTENT
Hi all. I am so excited by the overwhelming support and words of encouragement I have been receiving since I declared my intention to vie for the presidency of the AAAN at our AGM/Congress in June this year. Let me use this opportunity to thank you all for the telephone calls, messages, letters, texts etc; I truly have been overwhelmed and strongly encouraged that the timing is right for this service.
May I use this opportunity to announce that in a few days I will publish my DECLARATION OF INTENT, a.k.a. My Manifesto. I have spent the last few months working hard on this; I have commissioned researches, have held very wide consultations and studied the history of the association. I assure you that the document when released will itemise what I hope to achieve during my tenure and how working together we can achieve these objectives.
I intend to announce measurable intentions and will be glad to receive comments from you. Please stay connected.

Excellent news!!!! about time too. You have all it takes and even more. looking forward to reading your manifesto. God's grace
Hello again. I am the "anonymous" that spoke about wanting a manifesto. Glad to know that you are working on it.
Here's another suggestion I have read your postings. They contain lofty goals. That is excellent. However, they do seem to be somewhat patronising towards smaller or baby agencies who are just trying to find their feet.
As you prepare your manifesto, will you consider a strategy that gently brings them along to a point where they will adequately and properly represent the AAAN. After all, every big thing started small.
Some of them might actually be better off folding up or consider merging. But we would appreciate it if, in your manifesto you do not alienate them.
The presidency belongs to everybody, not just to the mega outfits.
Thank you. Wishing you all the best.
