VATSEA DIVISON DIRECTOR OPENING [Deadline Extended!!]

[Peter Ingerslev Nielsen]

NOTAM to all Members of VATSIM South East Asia Division

 

It is with appreciation and sorrow that VATSIM announces the resignation of Bowen Chau from his longstanding tenure as Division Director of VATSIM ASIA.

 

In his thirteen years as DD, Mr. Chau brought his calm expertise to members from Cambodia, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malasia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.

 

That presence will be missed, but as philosophers are given to say, "as one door closes, another opens" and we now have an opportunity to inject someone with new ideas and fresh enthusiasm into the region. Could it be you?

Region Director VATSIM ASIA Region

I noticed that the open position is VATSOUTHASIA Division Director. Is this merely a change in name since the last division was called VATSOUTHEASTASIA (VATSEA for short) or are the lines being re-drawn? It might be important for the next Director to know if it is the latter.

Thanks.

[Anastasios Petros Stefopou]

The Division is VATSEA, VATSIM South East Asia
