George Williams is the new Chairman of the Alabama Benin Forum. He is very active in the community as well as the legislative community.

The letter below was written by Mr. Williams soon after the Honorable Bob Riley appointed him as successor to the Chairmanship vacated by the untimely death of the Founder & Chairman, John H. Smith.

Dear Alabama Benin Trade & Economic Cooperative Forum Members & Supporters:

First I would like to take this opportunity to thank so many of you for all of your phone calls and emails of congratulations and support. I also thank you very much for your vote of confidence in my leadership. 2007 will be a clean slate for the Alabama Benin Trade & Economic Cooperative Forum. We have a brand new opportunity to reach higher heights and deeper depths. I know that our dear leader and founder John Smith would want us to continue the vision in unity and with a corporate mission. Together, we can continue to make this a reality.

The dictionary definition of a chairman is "The officer who presides at the meetings of an organization. However, the remaining officers, members and friends of the organization working with the chairman help define a great organization. The challenges and exploits that lie ahead cannot be effectively achieved without the help of everyone in the organization. There are no degrees of importance in the Alabama Benin Forum among the Forum Members. You are all equally important and your input is greatly needed if we are to make our mark on the African World.

Together we will help make a difference in our neighborhood, community and state to positively effect Africa and the world. I will always avail myself to your comments, questions and concerns and look forward to serving you as your Chairman. I have been notified by the Governors office that my official letter is forthcoming. I will share this letter with you at our next meeting.

May the coming year be one of blessings, prosperity and successes as together we stand strong in dedication, perseverance and respect for each other so that through this unity we can be
"Our Brothers Keeper".

Best Regards,


George Williams
Alabama Benin Trade & Economic Cooperative Forum
Chairman
