I extend my profound thanks to the Ugandan community members in the Pacific Northwest, for their vote of confidence and electing me as the new chairman of Pacific Northwest Ugandan American Association (PNUAA). I also would like to thank the outgoing committee members for the tremendous job they have done of keeping PNUAA on a straight path.

The Ugandan community in the Pacific Northwest deserves the best services, this new administration is here to serve you. We are going to work together with the community as we disseminate adequate information needed to keep the community informed hence promote cohesiveness. There are a number of initiatives that the new administration is considering to look into, which are geared towards promoting growth and development within the community and PNUAA in the long run. I call upon everyone to work with us in this new task of building a stronger PNUAA. Thank you.
