FPS MOVEMENT : issue #1 “Expect to see changes that FPS Group has never seen before”

FPS MOVEMENT: issue #1
 

MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN

Welcome to the FIRST issue of the FPS Movement, our FIRST regularly issued FPS Group Newsletter. Some of you reading this have been with us since our first year as a group and some of you have been with us for a shorter time. However, all of you can expect to see changes that FPS Group has never seen before. There will be a lot of firsts and many new things to come, and these changes will be coming for the better.

An example is our new connectedness via social media. Connect with each other, connect with the network. You can access all of our social media using the links below my message. Go ahead, take a look.

One more thing, I’d like to remind everybody that our next AGM will be in Marrakesh, Morocco. In the coming months, I will be approaching FPS Group and our collective future with a renewed energy and I invite all of you to join me over the coming months and showing our renewed collective energy at the October AGM in Marrakesh.

Thank you for being a member of FPS Group and please enjoy this first issue of FPS Movement.
