2006年12月陈峰会长致函岭南基金会

Dear Ms. Leslie Stone,

We at the Sun Yat-sen University Alumni Association (SYSUAA) were privileged to have Ms. Shirley Mao as representative of the Lingnan Foundation at our annual meeting held in Chinatown on November 4th.

In keeping with our time-honored tradition, an election was conducted for the new board of directors of the Association. Subsequently, the new board decided on its composition its first meeting, including the following:

President: Mr. Feng Chen
Vice President: Mr. Pinglau Chow
Secretary-General: Ms. Helen Wen Gao
PR Director: Miss Dongshu Ou

A full description of all board members and their respective responsibilities can be found (in Chinese) on our website: www.sysuaa.org.

Founded in 1940, SYSUAA boasts the longest history among all Chinese alumni associations overseas, and arguably in the world. The Association's main purposes are to build on the values of SYU and to promote exchanges between SYU and its alumni in the Tri-state area. SYSUAA members meet frequently throughout the year to enhance friendship and networking among alumni and with sister organizations with a Guangdong origin, including the Lingnan Foundation.

The Lingnan Foundation has been supporting SYU for its academic development through various grants and exchange programs. Over the past years, successive boards of our Association have recognized the importance of increasing interaction and cooperation with the Foundation. As incoming President of SYSUAA, I pledge to you my commitment to further expand such relations to our mutual benefit. We are lucky to have Miss Dongshu Ou as our Director for Public Relatins who, I trust, will serve as a useful bridge. We always welcome suggestions or initiatives in this regard.

On a personal note, Mr. Ping Liang and Ms. Dongli Xu have both conveyed to me your invitation to the Lingnan Foundation Lunch on December 4, 2006. If it is agreeable with you and if my UN schedule permits, I will endeavor to attend as well. The theme is a subject that is close to my heart as I was once sent to a village to till the land in Guangdong as well.

With best regards,

Feng Chen President
Sun Yat-sen University Alumni Association (SYSUAA)
