IPSF President 2006-07

Friday, September 21st, 2007

One year is a really short time. I was elected as IPSF President last year and now I have finished my term.

It has been a though year for me and I have learned a lot:
- Dealing with 11 strong Executives from various background (country, age, etc.)
- Dealing with the professionals
- Dealing with members around the world
- Chairing IPSF General Assembly
- Travelling all around the world without rest
- Replying to thousands of emails in few days
- Dealing with administrative
- Moving from Indonesia to Netherlands

Though it wasn’t an easy year esp. since I lost my wonderful grandma when I had to attend WHO Executive Board in Switzerland and I suddenly have to takeover my family business. I’m grateful that I have passed it…. Thank God for His grace, I wouldn’t be able to survive without him.

All these things that has happened to me have thought me to be even stronger. I realise that I have so many weak areas and I really need God to help me out.

Now I will move back to Indonesia to take care of my family and continue my study. Hopefully, I will be a pharmacist next year…. I know my new life wouldn’t be easy as well - I realise there will always be pressures, but when God is with me, nothing is matter for me!

It will be a new life, a new hope, and a new challange…. and I will make it !!

My life will be a happy-ending story with God above all….

Friday, September 21st, 2007

My term as IPSF President has finished….. now I’m officially the IPSF Immediate Past President.

It has been a though year! There has been so many things I need to deal during the year, I have learnt a lot.
- dealing with strong executive from various backgrounds (country, age, situation)
- dealing with the professionals
- dealing with IPSF members
- chairing the General Assembly
- travelling all over the world
- thousands of emails in few days
- and many many other things……

I am grateful for this position, though it wasn’t easy esp. when I have to loose my grandma when I was in Switzerland and when I suddenly have to takeover my family’s business….

It was the hardest time of your life but at the same time, you just have to think and still run the Federation. I realise that I might have done better but with all the situation I have to face… I know it’s already with God’s grace.

I just learned that I have to be even stronger!!!

Now I have finished. A new life will soon start….  taking care of my family, back to school, and many many other things…..  I know it wouldn’t be an easy life but I believe it will be a happy-ending story with God above all.

and yes, it’s a new life, a new hope, and a new challenge….
