Dear Members,
I am pleased to announce that Lucy Lu Wang was elected to the Board of Directors at the Annual Meeting yesterday. Lucy has been a great volunteer for the Go Center, as a day manger on Thursday afternoons, at outreach events, and also as a Go teacher with Sonny Cho at the Northwest Chinese School in Bellevue. In addition, she speaks Chinese, which is very helpful for the Go Center. She is a graduate of MIT, now working on her PhD at UW. Please welcome Lucy!
Dengda (Dan) Tang has finished his second three year term as Director of the Go Center, and is retiring from the Board. We appreciate his steady support of the Go Center, and we hope that we will continue to see him at our tournaments and events.
Lee Anne Bowie and Bill Chiles were re-elected to the Board at the Annual Meeting. At the Board of Directors meeting following the Annual Meeting, the officers were selected. They are:
Lee Anne Bowie – continuing as President
Bill Chiles – continuing as Vice President
Hikojiro (Hiko) Katsuhisa – continuing as Treasurer.
Lucy Lu Wang - Secretary
By the way, the Seattle Go Center is a nonprofit corporation organized under the laws of the State of Washington. Our formal name is the Nihon Ki-in Go Institute of the West. We are governed by a 9 member Board of Directors. Three Directors are elected each year by the yearly and lifetime members. Our building is owned by a nonprofit in Japan, the Nihon Ki-in. We have a long term management contract and lease with them for the use of the building.
Cheers,
Brian
