[PDF-members] [APRCEM) Re: capacity-building-aprcem For your support: APRCEM Transition and Election_Disability Constituency Focal Point

[Deepti Karan weiss]

Dear Co Chair Lany and Respective Team Members,

Warm pacific greetings! Hope you all are doing well, happy and healthy.

Thank you Dear Co chair Lany for your email and for sharing this.

I must commend you for the work you have tirelessly done, especially
considering the fact, that in addition to this role ( as our focal point)
which requires your full attention, you also wear so many other hats which
demands your input and representation. Yet you try your best to squeeze
everything in your already packed busy schedule. The good relations you
have built through your leadership with APRCEM is admirable.

I also would like to take this opportunity to thank PDF for the support
which they provided through Telesia’s great work. She’s a brilliant
addition and an asset.

Co Chair Lany, seeking clarification  on the duration PDF has been in this
role as contact point, with Interim duration included.

As this will determine that we, in all fairness, collectively come to
consensus. Since our Disability Constituency is Asia Pacific Disability
Constituency on Sustainable Development, where I believe we need to be
respectful, fair and provide equal opportunity for representation to both
Regions to strengthen the Constituency and for solidarity.  Thank you.

Best regards,
Deepti
