Members engaged in forward-looking discussions on how the association can further strengthen its position as a leading voice in the communications industry.
Looking ahead, the Governing Council outlined key priorities for the coming year, including preparations for PRAU’s 50-year anniversary celebrations, expanding the membership base, enhancing training and capacity-building programs, and leveraging technology to better serve members.
The launch of the digital IDs, which was met with enthusiasm by members, underscored PRAU’s commitment to providing practical, user-friendly solutions. Demonstrations during the AGM showcased how the platform accommodates different user needs, ensuring ease of use and accessibility for all members.
