Congratulations to our vice chairperson Anna Publico-Ong for being elected as Speaker of the Ethnic Minority Civic Congress (EMCC). The vote was held at the 10th EMCC meeting (4 Nov 2009) in the Scottish Parliament building in Holyrood, Edinburgh. As EMCC Speaker, Anna will provide overall leadership of the EMCC and facilitate debates and manage the entire business of the EMCC.
The EMCC is a representative, democratic and structured platform designed to facilitate civic engagement and participation and promote a collective, coordinated and ordered voice for the ethnic minority population of Scotland regardless of background, religion, age, disability, education, gender or sexual orientation.
