Meet the Concordian PTA President and
1. Please introduce yourself and your link to Concordian. My name is Gilbert Lim and I am the Executive Vice-President of Sahamongkolfilm International. I am currently the President of the Concordian Parents and Teachers Association. My only daughter is a student in Grade 5 in Concordian. 2. Why is serving on the Board of Trustees important to you? I take a very strong interest in the education of my child and as such have been extremely involved in Concordian's activities, both as a Class Parent but also as a member of the PTA. It was only natural for me to consider the board as an extension of my role in Concordian to help maintain and possibly improve the welfare of our community. As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I feel that it is also very important to be representative of this part of our community. 3. What professional expertise do you bring to your role? Having worked with people for a very long time and knowing what my strengths and weaknesses are, I am very good in my communication skills as well as management ability. I believe that as a leader one should be able to handle all situations and look for different solutions for each problem. 4. What makes Concordian's Mission and Vision powerful for you? The Mission and Vision statements are our guiding light to show us our way and goals. We always refer to them when making a decision for the school.

5. What would you like the Concordian community to know about the Board of Trustees? Many in the community may not realize what an important part the Board of Trustees is to the school. We help steer the school in the direction that is guided by the Mission and Vision and I hope that our community will acknowledge this and also be actively involved in helping build our school into one of the top schools in the world.
Mr. Gilbert Lim
