Devinder Ohri, NATAS president
THE National Association of Travel Agents Singapore (NATAS) has appointed Devinder Ohri as its president for a second term.
Ohri, along with 10 other elected office-bearers that jointly form the NATAS Executive Committee, will serve from now till 2018, when the next election is to be held.
The committee sees six new members, including Steven Ler as deputy president, Albert Hong as secretary-general and Simon Er as treasurer.
According to a NATAS statement, four of the committee positions were contested by a rival team but Ohri’s administration managed to hold onto them “with an average margin of 66 per cent of the valid votes cast”.
Commenting on the internal rivalry put up by members presumably from those who set up the Travel Revolution fair, Ohri said: “Healthy competition in free and fairly contested elections is good for any democratic association because it ensures renewal as we mature and move forward.”
