In this Issue

Dear CIPS’ Members and friends, After a period of economic downturn in 2009, we come to the middle of the year and it certainly can be said that this Year of the Tiger is living up to expectations of economic recovery. It's encouraging to see the recovery trend. However, on the other side of the coin, we have to prepare for another wave of challenges, like, inflation, possible interest rate increase, unstable employment market etc, etc. Different kinds of job challenges can always sharpen our professional skills and problem solving ability. I believe with our strengthened procurement network and continuous professional development, we can tackle these challenges properly and skilfully. Please join us to learn and share. We are grateful to have the valuable and continuous support from CIPS, CIPS members and procurement professionals. Having a great dedicated team composing Executive Committee, Sub-Committees and Youth Forum (CIPSY) also allows our branch to strengthen our membership network. We would like to take this opportunity to welcome our new Executive and Sub-committee members to join us creating more value to our CIPS members. New Executive & Committee Members Publicity Team - Alvin Yiu (IVE), Astron Lee (CIPSY), Eric Law (CIPSY) Event Team - Henry Cheung (Gammon), Rocky Yu, Tony Chan (CSL), Vicky Law (CIPSY), Tracy Liu (CIPSY), Stephen Li (CIPSY) Professional Development Team - Raymond Goh (CLP) Regards,

Carrie Lau
