Message from the President of the MILESAA Ltd
I am extremely excited to announce to all our alumni and friends that our beloved alumni association was successfully registered as a company with limited guarantee In HK Company Registry early this year after undergoing through a tedious filing process.under the guidance of our Honorary Legal Advisor , and most importantly the assistance rendered by our executive committee members . The same Board of Directors, who exerted extra hard work in past few months in helping a smooth and peaceful transition without causing any interruption to all the planned activities.
The merit of running alumni association in the capacity of a limited company urges a very tight control on the use of donations in high transparency to all our sponsors as well to all our members, secondly provides a sufficient coverage to protect board members from unnecessary exposure to predictable risk despite their great effort and good will.
