7.  Election Announcement of Guanghua Chinese Association Council
     光华华人协会理事会选举公告
    The Guanghua Chinese Association was granted an operational license from the Pennsylvania State Government on May 3, 
2004. Guanghua Chinese School and the Greater Philadelphia Chinese Cultural Center are affiliated to the Guanghua Chinese 
Association. Initially, the Guanghua Chinese Association Council and the school management team were independent 
organizations. To improve efficiency based on the fact that the association was small at the beginning phase, the Council 
and the management team merged and were collectively referred to as the Guanghua Leadership Team. Over the years, the 
school leadership team has worked actively and made a solid contribution to the development of Guanghua Chinese School 
and the Greater Philadelphia Chinese Cultural Center. Now, there are about 1500 students/parents registered for our 
Chinese language/cultural/sports classes at our school. To adapt to the fast development of Guanghua Chinese Association, 
our leadership team believes that the establishment of the Guanghua Chinese Association Council is imperative for the 
future of our school and our center. 
_
    According to the bylaw of the Guanghua Chinese Association, a council election will be held in February 2019 to establish 
the Guanghua Chinese Association Council, including the chairman and two to four council members. An election working 
committee will be responsible for organizing the election. We invite nomination and self-nomination for the chairman and 
the council members. Members of the Guanghua family who are interested in serving Guanghua Chinese are welcome to 
participate. Please come to our school office to obtain the application form of the Chairman Candidates of the Council of 
Guanghua Chinese Association or the application form of the council member of the Council of Guanghua Chinese 
Association.

    光华华人协会(Guanghua Chinese Association)于2004年5月3日获得宾夕法尼亚州政府颁发的执照。光华中文学校和大费城华人文化中心都隶属于光华华人协会。光华华人协会成立初期,理事
会和学校工作委员会的职能是分开的。由于初期协会规模较小,为了提高效率,克服机构松散的问题,理事会和工作委员会合并,统称为光华领导团队。这些年来,学校领导团队积极工作,为学校工作和文化中心发展
壮大做出了有目共睹的贡献。随着学校和中心的发展,从目前的工作需要出发,光华领导团队认为成立光华华人协会理事会势在必行。
_
    根据光华华人协会的章程,我们将在2019年2月份举行理事会选举,选出光华华人协会理事会理事长、常务理事等三至五人。为此,华人协会将组成选举工作小组,着手进行这次选举的准备工作。有意参选或愿意推
荐提名的人士请到学校办公室领取《参选光华华人协会理事会理事长候选人意愿书》和《参选光华华人协会理事会理事候选人意愿书》。欢迎有志于为光华华人服务的光华大家庭成员踊跃参选。
