8. 19TH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING/ANNUAL LUNCHEON
9. SOLDER SUB-COMMITTEE
The primary objective of this Sub-Committee is to provide a forum for deliberating matters of common interests of solder company members of the Association. In addition, it considers views and proposals on issues affecting the tin solder sub-sector and where appropriate raises them with the Management Committee of the Association for endorsement and for subsequent submission to the relevant authorities, if necessary.
During 2009, the Sub-Committee on Solder met a total of four times. A major issue which the Sub-Committee continued to deliberate concerns the matter of instilling appropriate discipline amongst members of the Sub-Committee with regard to their marketing and pricing arrangements in order that efforts to support research and development for their products could be enhanced. During the year, members of the Sub-Committee agreed to continue to cooperate in ensuring fair competition and trade in the local solder market.10. SEMINARS
11. NEWSLETTER
The Newsletter published during 2009 continued to improve in terms of layout, contents, and advertising support. This was to enhance its readership value to members and the public, and as an additional source of income for the Association. The Newsletter Editorial Sub-Committee, formed to oversee the production of the Newsletter, met four times during the year. It provided suitable guidance to the Secretariat in the compilation of the publication and the consideration of strategies for strengthening support of the Newsletter.12. AUDITORS
