Building a Vibrant Nation, Inspiring a New Generation

Seeing unprecedented growth among our EC Members and associates across industries, diverse markets and economic sectors over the past year has been immensely gratifying. This is both a positive sign of just how robust the Singapore economy is and also a testament to the hard work and dedication that these entrepreneurs have put into developing and growing their brand and business. But beyond mere profit-making and creative innovations, we have also seen a different side of these successful entrepreneurs. A caring, nurturing side that is both inspiring and up-lifting.

SMBA would like to thank all our valued EC members and associates for their invaluable contributions in our 2012 activities, in particular their unwavering support towards local tertiary students and budding entrepreneurs. It is truly heartwarming to see these outstanding men and women take time off their busy schedules to coach, inspire and educate a new generation of entrepreneurs. These actions are not only appreciated by those receiving the benefits directly, but will go a long way to building and sustaining a competitive advantage for our nation as a whole.

Looking ahead, we have even more exciting activities and initiatives for our young entrepreneurs and aspiring business leaders this year ahead. We hope that you will continue to work hand in hand with us in Building a New Generation of Business Leaders even as your businesses grow, thrive and prosper.

Wishing one and all a fruitful, prosperous and bountiful year ahead!

Yours Truly,
Mr Philip Tan
Vice-President,
Advisory Panel 2013
