DELIVERY ‘Celebrating Women in a Time of Crisis and Adversity’ was held on August 31 via Zoom. Right up until the star t of the event, we promoted it heavily on The Club’s Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn, WhatsApp broadcast channel and dedicated e-mailers along with our sister organizations. Thanks to our combined effor ts, we were able to host a robust group of speakers at the event. Our panelist comprised three outstanding women: H.E. Lynn McDonald, High Commissioner of Canada to Singapore, H.E. Margriet Vonno, Ambassador of The Netherlands to Singapore and Brunei, and Dr. Hsien-Hsien Lei, Chief Executive Officer of American Chamber of Commerce in Singapore. Singapore’s former Permanent Representative to the United Nations in New York, and former Ambassador to the United States of America Professor Tommy Koh moderated the event. The panel of speakers encouraged the audience with their own success stories, struggles, and strategies for success in the post-pandemic world. Before the panel began, the evening kicked off with a recital by The Pitches, an all-girls choir from the Singapore American School.
