ECLOF members, staff and guest gathered last May 18, 2018 at Seda Vertis North Hotel, Quezon City for its 23rd General Assembly. This year’s theme was “Consolidation Towards Sustainable Growth”. Major Allain Nietes of The Salvation Army gave a biblical reflection of John 6: 12-13: “So when they were filled, He said to His disciples, ‘Gather up the fragments that remain, so that nothing is lost.’ Therefore they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves which were left over by those who had eaten.” Ms. Minnie Anne Calub, Vice-chairman of the Board, gave the welcome remarks. Then the group was divided into two sessions. The first group, composed of GA members and Senior Managers, participated the session on board governance. Meanwhile, ECLOF staff attended the family development session. In the afternoon, the business session was spearheaded by Chairman of the Board Atty. Floyd Lalwet, Executive Director Ms. Rosemarie C. Castro, and Corporate Secreatry Ms. Mary Jane Baldago. This was followed by the awarding of certificates of recognition to the top performers of 2017. Finally, for this year’s booth contest, CALABARZON and North Luzon 1 Areas were both recognized as the winners.
