A Word from our President
Hello Everyone,
This has been an amazing year and a great experience for me to work with IWAT. I would like to thank all the board members for your unconditional contributions. Thanks also goes to all the members who participated in different activities and donated time and money to help the community through different charity events. We have had a monumental year of membership growth and strong support for our charity fund. We saw love and friendship flow within our organization.
If you have the heart to make IWAT an even better organization next year, we would love for you to join the IWAT board. What can we do to help you? What are your needs? We would like to hear from you. Check out some of the many fun positions on the board and see where you can help (listed below)!
Wishing you have a great summer and safe travel! We are looking forward to seeing your happy face when you return in September and hearing your great stories!
Cheers,
Jessica Wang
