“I want everyone to know that we are doing this together. So, I need your contributions and suggestions,” she said.

While appreciating efforts of previous executives of the institute, she said: “I accept the leadership which will present its challenges but an avenue to continue doing the great work that has been done.”

She sought the support of its members through constructive criticisms and recommendations of initiatives that would be helpful to its members.
