[APAC-Discuss] APRALO Elections 2016

Tue May 3 09:53:03 UTC 2016

Dear Maureen,
Thank you for the explanation about the mentorship program.
Being volunteer in different local and regional committees need dedication
and when time allows, I will follow up.

In this email I will also support the continuation of the current APRALO
leadership team: Holly Raiche, Siranush Vardanyan and Ali AlMeshal.

Best wishes,
Nadira
