Dear CABA members and friends,

First of all, on behalf of the CABA executive committee, I want to thank you for your year long support to CABA and wish you and your family a very happy holiday season!

Second, as the president, I would like to take this opportunity to share with you CABA events that took place this year. CABA has been experiencing a rapid and healthy growth in the past two years since its inception in May 2007. It is probably safe to say that CABA has evolved into one of the most active and engaging Chinese professional organizations in the Boston Area, nationwide in the US to a greater extent; and in China to certain degree.

2009 has been a busy and productive year for CABA. Those who participated and witnessed the many successful events that we have organized and promoted can testify that we have strived to fulfill our mission and achieve our goals. You can easily track our record by looking at “CABA 2009 Highlights” available at CABA website, www.cabaweb.org.

While we enjoy reflecting the tremendous accomplishments we have achieved, we attribute all of these to the extraordinary commitment from our Executive Committee members by sacrificing their valuable family time and their own resources, to the support from our sponsors and members, to our collaborators of many professional organizations locally and globally, and of course to advisors for their constructive suggestions and guidance.

I am sure that the coming year will bring many new opportunities for us to better serve our members and communities. We are looking forward to an even more prosperous new year in 2010!

Once again, thank you and happy holidays!

Sincerely,

Zhao-Kui (ZK) Wan
President
Chinese-American BioMedical Association (CABA)
