She will be replacing Maggie Kwok who retired from November 1.

In a release, ACI Asia-Pacific announced new leadership for the Regional Office. After leading the Regional Office for five years, Mrs. Maggie Kwok has retired with effect from November 1, 2011 and Mrs. Patti Chau will lead the ACI Asia-Pacific Regional Office as the new Regional Director.

The ACI Asia-Pacific Regional Board has accepted Mrs. Maggie Kwok’s decision on her retirement and expressed their deep gratitude and appreciation for Mrs. Kwok’s years of service to the Regional Office. Ms. Kwok has joined ACI at a very critical time when the ACI Asia and ACI Pacific regions merged. Under her very capable leadership, the two regions have merged successfully in 2008.

Tan Sri Bashir, President of ACI Asia-Pacific said, “Mrs. Kwok has been an effective leader and I have no doubt that the ACI Asia-Pacific Regional Office will benefit far into the future because of the lasting impact of her work. On behalf of the ACI Asia-Pacific Region, I wish her a happy, healthy and prosperous retirement.”

The Regional Board has appointed Mrs. Patti Chau as the new Regional Director at the Board Meeting held on October 31, 2011 in Marrakech, Morocco. Mrs. Chau is a Certified General Accountant who joined the Regional Office in May 2004 and has previously worked in Vancouver Airport Services prior joining ACI.

Mrs. Patti Chau, Regional Director of ACI Asia-Pacific said, “I feel honored to be appointed as the Regional Director of ACI Asia-Pacific, a region that has the most diverse membership and with the fastest growing passenger traffic. To support the growing membership, we will continue our efforts to enhance member services while maintaining the mission of promoting our members’ interests.”
