The Latin American Suzuki Association Committee reports its important meeting held on September 17th, with Tamara González and Daniel de Lima, elected representatives to the Board of the Suzuki Association of the Americas. The Committee had the opportunity to share with them its background and objectives, roles and functions, who its members are, and explain how the committee has acted as an important link with the SAA. Finally, we mention the achievements in these months of work, the challenges and the forms of support that are intended to be obtained, as well as the way in which we intend to continue the work of the Committee. We hope this communication with the members of the SAA Board of Directors will become even closer and continue constantly, in order to bring more effective responses to the needs of the Suzuki community in Latin America.
