    The out going President, Elizabeth Mkav Tsavnande, thanked the members for the support and encouragement given to them while piloting the affairs of the Association.

     She said, “in our individual capacities, we couldn’t have been the  best to be entrusted with the responsibility, but I thank you for finding us worthy to serve. I encourage us to continue in the service for GOSA in line with our motto: “For Light and Truth”.

    Earlier, the Chairman GOSA National Convention, Brig. Gen. Jon N. Temlong, said, “the vision of our founding fathers, who believed that all children passing through these schools would grow academically, physically and spiritually, ready to stem the society from lie and truth must be maintained .

   “As outlined in our Constitution, GOSA’s mission is focused on seven core objectives, among which are unapologetic in promoting high academic, spiritual and moral standards of all matters, fostering solid relationships between all, helping alumni and schools, and creating a spirit of unity among all members”, he reiterated.

     He, therefore, congratulated the newly elected Executive Council and urged them to think of the welfare and unity of the Association first before themselves because as a family, they respect to dream of the founding fathers.
