Dr. Quek Chwee GeokDear members of the APFG 16th APCG Conference 27 to 29 Nov We hope everyone is keeping well. The COVID-19 pandemic has created havoc and disrupted all our plans. Like most other international events and activities that had to be cancelled or postponed, our 16th Asia Pacific Conference on Giftedness could not be held as planned in July 2020. Thanks to the perseverance of the organizing committee, the conference will still be held in Daegu, South Korea from Nov 27 to 29, 2020. Those who are able to travel to Daegu will attend the conference at the Representative Exhibition and Convention Center. For foreign participants who are unable to make the trip, the conference will be online as well. For more information, please check out the conference website: http://apcg2020.org/ Extension of APFG membership In light of the exceptional circumstances wrought by COVID-19, the EXCO deliberated on the implications of our organization. The following decisions have been made with regard to membership and term of office holders: 1. Membership will be extended to July 2022. This means that all members whose membership expired in July/Aug 2020 will have your membership extended by 2 years, without cost. 2. As for Delegates, the EXCO decided that current delegates will continue their term till July 2022. However, should any country or region wish to elect new delegates, please conduct your own elections, and inform the secretary of the new delegates, if any, for 2020-2022. 3. Since we are not able to call for meetings and hold elections for office holders, the current EXCO will serve for another 2 years, until fresh elections are called at the next APCG conference in 2022. If any member does not agree with the above decisions, please inform the secretary in writing by 20 Nov 2020. For those who have signed up to attend the Conference in Nov, we look forward to seeing you in Daegu or online. Keep well, stay safe. |
