Dear Members and Friends:

Welcome to the VUFO-NGO Resource Centre Newsletter for June 15th - 30th, 2015.

The VUFO-NGO Resource Centre would like to announce departures of several directors among INGO members.

We would also like to warmly welcome two new directors and one returning director, respectively: Fabrice Vandeputte, Country Manager at AVI; Resad Junuzagic, Country Director at NPA; and Sanda Rihtman, Sub-Regional Country Representative at CRS. 

Gus and Filip are leaving their positions, but they will be staying in Vietnam with new jobs. Please join us in congratulating both of them, as well as several other senior managers, on their new appointments and promotions: Filip as new Deputy Country Representative at the Asia Foundation; Gus as NPA Program Manager for Capacity Building; Tran Thu Huyen as Officer in Charge for WVI; Nguyen Anh Thinh as Acting Country Director for ADRA; Chau Phuong Lai as Acting Country Representative for ARC; and Ly Phat Viet Linh as new Deputy Country Director for CARE International.
