Dear AWA Members,
We would like to thank everyone who attended the American Welcoming Association Annual General Meeting on Thursday, 29th January, 2026 and for your continued support of our community.
It is our pleasure to formally announce the outcome of the AGM and to congratulate our newly appointed Board Members for the year ahead. On behalf of the Association, we extend our sincere congratulations and appreciation to the following members who have kindly accepted leadership roles for the coming year:
*President: Joyce Keiko Osuga
*Vice President: Babita Choudhary
*Secretaries: Joan Kamikamica & Arishma Chand
*Treasurer: Helene Penfold
*Head of the Lunch and Activities Committee / Events Coordinator: Diana Guild
*Head of the Welcoming and Membership Committee: Sabrina Acraman
*Public Relations Officer: Lendha Marlene
We are grateful for their willingness to serve and contribute their time, energy, and leadership to support our members and strengthen our association.
The American Welcoming Association continues to be a place of friendship, cultural exchange, and mutual support. We are fortunate to live in Fiji, a country rich in culture, hospitality, and tradition, and we are equally enriched by the many cultures, experiences, and perspectives brought by our members from around the world.
We are excited for the year ahead as we continue learning about Fijian culture, celebrating the diversity of our international community, and creating meaningful opportunities to connect, learn, and grow together.
Thank you once again for your commitment to the Association. We look forward to a positive and successful year ahead with all of you.
