It is my great pleasure to introduce to you Miia Kauppila who officially assumes the role of General Manager of AKS today, February 1.  The AKS Board spent much of the fall recruiting a new General Manager. After interviewing a number of very qualified candidates, we selected Miia to lead AKS into the future.  We are confident that under her leadership and with her strong management skills, she will continue to grow AKS membership and programs while remaining true to our core vision.
 
While Miia is originally from Finland she has called Shanghai her home for nearly 10 years. She comes to us from Zipo Ltd, a Finnish zipper manufacturer.  Miia, as Key Account manager, led a sales team of 8 to build the China market for its branded zipper products. Miia and her husband Gilbert have a 3 year old daughter Eliane. Like many of us,  she learned about AKS through her child.
 
Miia is looking forward to meeting as many of our members and supporters as possible in the near future.  She can be reached at miia@activekidz.org 
 
Please join me and the rest of the AKS Board and staff in warmly welcoming Miia to the AKS family.
