2009 Annual General Meeting and Elections Invitation
Dear All,
BADA is an all volunteer-based grassroots, non-profit organization
founded on Jan 7, 2001. Since its founding, the organization has been
advocating democracy and freedom for the people of Burma and the
betterment of the local communities. It has been solely supported by the
members and the supporters. As you may be aware, it has constantly
worked with many of you – Burma freedom supporters, various community
groups and organizations in realizing numerous campaigns, actions and
events to help the people of Burma.
The Annual General Meeting (AGM) is held annually in January while its
Board of Directors and the Executive Committee are elected by the
members at the AGM every two years. We believe that building the strong
and effective grassroots organization is important and necessary in
effectively assisting the people of Burma in their long struggle for
freedom. To that end, please help us by joining the organization as well
as attending its upcoming AGM and the Elections on January 17, 2009.
Have a wonderful holiday season.
Thanks,
Nyunt Than
BADA
