PROLOGUE<br />
Dear members,<br />
I recently joined the ADB board and have the honour <strong>of</strong> writing my first prologue for this<br />
excellent magazine. I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself. My name is<br />
Remco Muzerie and I have been living with my family (two kids) already for 5 years in<br />
Singapore. My pr<strong>of</strong>ession lies in the telecommunication world.<br />
Remco Muzerie<br />
I also would like to take this opportunity to say farewell to one <strong>of</strong> our board members.<br />
Jeroen Keunen is unfortunately stepping out <strong>of</strong> the board due to his busy travel schedules.<br />
Jeroen, on behalf <strong>of</strong> the ADB I would like to thank you for all the contributions you have<br />
done for our organization in the past three years.<br />
As usual the Black Tie Dinner was a success (see pictures on Pg 3). On behalf <strong>of</strong> the board<br />
and the members I would like to thank Unilever for sponsoring our 14th Annual Black Tie<br />
Dinner. For obvious reasons our members always appreciate this event and it is also a good<br />
way <strong>of</strong> getting to know each other better. Of course for many <strong>of</strong> us it was also the first<br />
opportunity to meet our guest <strong>of</strong> honour, His Excellency Mr. Chris C. Sanders Ambassador<br />
<strong>of</strong> the Kingdom <strong>of</strong> the Netherlands to Singapore and Brunei Darussalam.<br />
We are also going to have a couple <strong>of</strong> very interesting activities in the coming months. Our<br />
upcoming event will take place on 12th <strong>of</strong> <strong>Sept</strong>ember. This event will bring together a<br />
panel <strong>of</strong> pr<strong>of</strong>essionals who will discuss sustainable development from a business perspective<br />
with the title ‘Your Business Strategy and the Environment; Integration or Marketing?’<br />
Please read more about it in ‘<strong>Association</strong> Info’.<br />
The board has already started filling up 2006 with interesting events. However, I would<br />
like to invite all the members to come up with opportunities <strong>of</strong> getting high quality speakers.<br />
There is always an interest for high pr<strong>of</strong>ile speakers, which suits our members and potential<br />
members alike!<br />
Hope to see you soon.<br />
Warm regards,<br />
Remco Muzerie<br />
