GENERAL MANAGER FEATURE
A WARM WELCOME TO OUR NEW GENERAL MANAGER After having exercised due diligence in the selection process and careful consideration of the right fit for our Club, the Management Committee announced the appointment of Ms Patricia Au as the Club’s new General Manager. Patricia came on board on 1 July and hit the ground running. She brings extensive experience from the private Club industry in Singapore. As an initial introduction to Patricia prior to your meeting her in person at the Club, this tête-à-tête will give you insights into her immediate priorities and what she sees as opportunities for the Club with regard to current and evolving needs and enhancements that would elevate Member experience, and, in the same vein, position the Chinese Swimming Club as a premier club both in Singapore and in the Region. Patricia’s EQ, personal penchants and emphasis on family-life and nurturing relationships are underscored below. These in turn, shape her management and leadership styles. We look forward to the next phase under her leadership.
What attracted you to the role of General Manager of the Chinese Swimming Club? The Chinese Swimming Club celebrated her 112th anniversary this year. At the start of this exciting juncture in the Club’s history, the Management Committee had formed the Vision 2030 Committee to look into the long-term strategy of the Club, review facilities and services to help the Club transform and remain relevant to the evolving needs and expectations of current and future Members. The Club is at the cusp of a transformation journey and I am excited to contribute my knowledge and experience honed over many years, and be an integral part of this process. The Chinese Swimming Club has good hardware in the form of its Clubhouse buildings and a comprehensive range of sports, recreation, lifestyle and dining facilities. It also has a rich tradition of nurturing sporting excellence in Singapore. To this end, I want to acknowledge the contributions of our dedicated Committee Members and former General Manager Peter Goh. I would like to continue to build on the Club’s successes and take it to even greater heights in
