Grassroots with passion 03

CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE EDUCATION & PUBLICATION COMMITTEE

Dear Readers,

Grassroots with Passion is TGC’s main communications platform to reach out to our members. Nobel idea but the neat trick is, given our very busy lifestyles and schedules, to make the publication a must-read and not just a “good-to-read.”

We are not there yet but the changes, both in editorial and design, have begun.

Over the past few months, you would have noticed that recent editions of our Grassroots with Passion magazine have undergone several changes mirroring the physical changes at TGC itself. Aside from a fresh design and more in- depth articles, the entire editorial slant of the magazine has shifted to become more engaging and outreaching. I would like to thank several readers who have noted and complimented these changes. Advertisers have also noticed the changes and I’m pleased that more are coming forward with support to make the magazine self-sustaining. But we are not yet done. In the next few months we will introduce a digital version of the magazine , aimed at reaching out to our younger grassroots leaders. The digital version will be available on android, ipad and desktop platforms and will enable readers to leave comments or reactions to the stories and articles we publish or post. All these developments would not have been possible without the strong support and commitment of the E&P committee, namely Edward See, Marie Lim, Lim Yen Lan, David Seah, Toh Sze Wei and Joey Koh as well as the help of the TGC Secretariat especially Iris Teh and Ethan Seet. We also much acknowledge the guidance and leadership of the President Mr Lim Ang Hock as well as the entire Executive Committee. Thank you all for helping and contributing continuous feedback on our magazine.

John Lim Chairman Education & Publication Committee

Happy reading!
