History of the ACCP
The birth of ACCP marks a significant and exciting step of bringing together professional people of Chinese descent who are dedicated to community advocacy and service for the Chinese. Because of strong interest in the concept and need to facilitate collaboration and networking amongst Chinese professionals, a small group including 2 physicians, 2 lawyers, 2 dentists, and 2 accountants met in February, 1999 to discuss the possibility of forming a new association. This was the beginning of the ACCP. The ACCP Steering Committee gradually expanded to include other professionals including engineers, pharmacist, and researchers. The committee set out as its initial task to define the mission and goals of this association which include, in brief: advocacy on issues relating to Chinese and the community at large, reducing language and cultural barriers for Chinese through community education, and mentoring of youths. After months of meetings and brainstorming sessions, the ACCP Incorporation Committee, along with the ACCP Steering Committee, finalised the constitution and by-laws of ACCP. The constating documents were submitted to the Registrar of Companies for registration and ACCP was incorporated on May 29, 2000. The full text of ACCP's constitution and by-laws can be obtained from any board member or its registered office. We thank the dedicated individuals on the Steering Committee for their hard work and commitment. They are exemplary citizens who lead extremely busy lives yet volunteer their time to give something meaningful back to our society. The ACCP, while unique in its vision and potential, is still in its infancy and needs the support of its members to realize its goals. ACCP welcomes new members as well as your input and participation.
