A Message From Our President
Fellow members,
First of all, I hope you all have a healthy, happy and restful Christmas and holiday season. It is a privilege and a pleasure to bring this Christmas message to you. Since becoming President again in 2017 there have been many highlights, and there never seems to be a week that goes by that the Alliance is not either involved in events or driving forward events in the dance world. ItŌĆÖs wonderful to see the branches growing and st...rengthening their positions in their genres of dance.
Of course, none of this work and the success we are seeing in the Alliance can be achieved without the many volunteers we rely on throughout the world. However, there is only so much goodwill to go around, so you are all welcome to put your names forward to help at our events, and we will make the best use of your talents to support the Alliance. So, at this point, my thanks to the many volunteers in all our branches who give up their time to make events a success for all of us.
I also have to say a very big thank you to all the branch committee members, branch convenors and branch examiners. Your dedication to the Alliance is appreciated and does not go unnoticed. Of course, the Alliance could not operate without our amazing office staff. A very big thank you from me and from the Executive Council to Jayne, Gillian, Laura and Nicola for the outstanding work you carry out. The feedback received continues to be nothing but praise.
Well, Christmas is here again. Relax and have a safe and enjoyable time, whatever you may be doing. I wish you all, and your families, a very merry Christmas and a successful 2019! With best wishes,
Gregor Bowman
