Dear all, 

 

Greetings from Taichung, Taiwan.

 

As my tenure comes to a close, I would like to extend my sincere appreciation to the FACP Executive Board Members and all Governors.

 

Serving as Chairperson of FACP has been one of the most meaningful journeys of my professional life. Over the past three years, we have worked collectively to strengthen the organization and deepen our connections through artistic and cultural exchange.

 

I am especially encouraged by the growing number of new members who have joined FACP in recent years. A total of 133 individuals became members for the first time, each bringing fresh perspectives. Their participation reflects that FACP is not only a well-established organization, but also a supportive, inspiring, and forward-looking community.

 

I would also like to acknowledge the Clare C. and Friends Fellowship. Through this program, FACP has successfully engaged younger generations. Over the past three years, the Fellowship received 118 submissions, with 16 works presented to audiences. These projects demonstrate the creativity and vision of emerging artists, affirming that FACP serves not only as a professional network, but also as a nurturing platform for future development.

 

Thank you to all members—both long-standing and new—for your dedication and support, which continue to shape FACP into a strong and caring community. I wish FACP every success in the coming Year of the Horse.

 

Best Wishes, 

 

​​
