MSA (UK) held its Annual General Meeting (AGM) for the year 2001/2002 on 28 December 2002 at its office, 9 Rosemont Avenue, London. A total of fourty three members attended the meeting: twenty-seven eligible for voting while there were seven children (under sixteen) and seven associate members who are not eligible for voting. There were two invited guests from the High Commission of Maldives in London, namely Iruthisham and Zeenadh.
The main aim of the meeting was to elect a new Central Committee (CC) that will steer the association for the next year. The new Central Committee expressed there dreams about the association and told the members how they will try to achieve their goals. 'We have dreams that, if could be achieved, will give MSA a better place in the hearts of the members, past and current, and even will attract more new members in the year ahead. We will create a special place for us in the hearts of the people back at home too,' said the new chairperson. Let's wait and see this.
