[Pdf_elections] Outcome of 2018 PDF Board Election

[Villaney Remengesau]

Dear CEO Mr. Seta Macanawai:

Alii and warm greetings from the people of Palau!

Many thanks for your email and a successful 2018 PDF Board Election. A
special Thank You to Ms. Samantha French for her support and allowing me
this opportunity to take on this new post of Female Co-Chair. I would also
like to recognize and acknowledge those who nominated me and supported my
nomination. At the same time, I applaud the outgoing board members for
their support and efforts that have brought PDF to where it is now. I am
pleased and honored to accept this post and looking forward to working with
you the 2018 PDF Board, members, partners, friends, and persons with
disabilities and their families.

Let us all continue to work together, nurture and support each other and
help grow the unique image of PDF and strive for more positive disability
developments in our beautiful Pacific Region and beyond. Once more, thank
you for your great support and confidence.

Respectfully,

Lany
