Australia 17/03/15

Reaffirming a strong tradition of democracy within the organization, The United Australian Lebanese Movement conducted committee elections simultaneously in all states at 8pm on Tuesday the 17^th March 2015.

As per the constitution of the UALM, only those who met “the meeting participation criteria” where allegeable to vote. Voting took place amidst a friendly and positive atmosphere that affirms the UALM’s commitment to the democratic process, a practice which has been followed since its inception in 1989.

On behalf of the UALM Federal committee, we wish to congratulate all those that were elected by state members to represent them, and congratulate all members on their professional and committed participation. It is this spirit which can serve as a role model for Lebanon.
