Invitation to stand for election of
Parent Manager and Standing Committee Ordinary Member

Dear Parents,

            It’s time for the PTA of HKUGAC to hold their 2nd Annual General Meeing (“AGM”). 

            On 30th May 2009 when the 2nd AGM is scheduled to take place, the Chairman of PTA will give his report and the Income/ Expenditure Account for the past year will be reviewed.

            Another important agenda item for the 2nd AGM is to elect two (2) additional Standing Ordinary Committee Members to join the PTA and to elect the new Parent Manager and the Alternate Parent Manager for the Incorporated Management Committee (IMC) of the School for the coming school year.

            For your information, the elected Parent Manager and Alternate Parent Manager, to be nominated at his/her personal capacity, work closely with the IMC in terms of policy matters of the School.  PTA Standing Committee Ordinary members, on the other hand, work closely with parents to support the school in its day-to-day business.  In all these aspects, they work for the ultimate benefit of all the students of the School.

            I would like to invite all parents to run for the above posts.  I have enclosed herewith the Candidate Statement and Nomination Rules concerning the Parent Manager and PTA Standing Committee Ordinary Members.  Parents may choose to stand for the election of either or both posts.
Besides, the following important documents will be relevant concerning the election.  They will be posted on the School’s website for reference and review:

i.           Constitution Document for HKUGA PTA,
ii.          Role and responsibilities of the Parent Manager,
iii.         An extract of relevant sections of the Education Ordinance
iv.         Ethical code required in the Parent Manager Election

            Should parents wish to run for the election for either or both of the posts, please return the  completed Candidate Statement/s to the School’s General Office (Attn: Mr. Sydney Wong, the Election Supervisor) by 5:00 p.m. on 24th April 2009 after which the nomination period will be closed.
Let’s join hands and work together for the immediate and longer-term benefit of our children.
I look forward to your participation.

Sydney Wong
Election Supervisor
