We need to elect the new GGTM VPM.

Scarlet OH nominated Hyun Mi YU as one of candidates for the position and Hyun Mi YU accepted.

Anne AHN, the other nominee, made a short speech to step down.

As a result of the election, Hyun Mi YU was unanimously elected as the new VPM.

3.       Club Contest (Jerry HWANG)
GGTM was supposed to have a club contest on 14th February, 2012, but the contest is not going to happen. The reason is lack of the number of the contestant. Sang Je Kim was the only one who came up for the club contest. In other words, he is the speech representative of GGTM for further contests in the future.
Hence, GGTM has a regular meeting next week. However, there is going to be something different. Unlike a regular meeting, Sang Je is going to have a speech in the prepared speech session for the area contest and everybody else in the meeting will evaluate his speech. It is called ‘Club Evaluation’.

4.       Area Contest
Area Contest holds on March 17, 2012. The venue will be announced soon.

Spring Conference 2012 is going to be held on April 28th and 29th.
