4. Challenges
The large geographical spread of SEA Region, spanning 7 countries, leads to challenges in organizing District and Regional events due to the time consumption and high costs of international air travel. Proposed to re-structure by upgrading HK District to HK Region with 2 or more Districts within HK (to be decided by the HK clubs) and SMIT District to SMIT Region with 2 or more Districts. For proposed SMIT Region, possibly, 1) Southern SMIT District covering Malaysia and Singapore Clubs (Beta Chapter, Ipoh Club, Alpha Chapter, Berbakti Club and Silver State Clubs) and 2) Northern SMIT District covering Thailand, Myanmar, Bangladesh and Cambodia (Bangkok, Chiangmai, Chiangrai, Lanna Chiangmai, Yangon, Dhaka Central, Dhaka North and Phnom Penh Clubs) or such names and affiliation as the individual clubs may prefer.
5. Motions to be considered by ACM
To consider the proposal to re-organize / re-structure the SEA Region into 2 Regions, viz HK Region and SMIT Region with the 2 (or more) Districts in each of the Region.
