Good Evening Friends! Are you having a blast? Are you ready to show your moves?
I mean "dance moves"!
A beautiful girl asked me a question today, "What is ABAOC? Are you going to be the next President of all these people?" That girl is my sweet daughter.
My answer to her: "THIS IS ABAOC!"
What you have experienced today is what Asian Business Association Orange County is all about.
I want to thank my beautiful wife and kids who show a great deal of patience and support when I am out working with my ABAOC brothers and sisters. Thank You!!
Let me have a show of hands: "Who does not use an Apple product today?"... Very few hands! I am going to have to sell you an Apple product soon. I don't work for Apple though.
I want to share with you tonight this amazing quote from Steve Jobs, the greatest entrepreneur and innovator of our times, who created breakthrough products that we enjoy everyday.
Steve Jobs Quote:
"My model for business is The Beatles. They were four guys who kept each other's kind of negative tendencies in check. They balanced each other and the total was greater than the sum of the parts. That's how I see business: great things in business are never done by one person, they're done by a team of people." -- Steve Jobs
This quote really sums up the essence of our ABAOC team. Our ABAOC motto is: "Rich in Diversity, Strong in Unity"
We are a diverse team of professionals, from different cultures, united in our vision to create economic opportunities for small businesses in Orange County. This is what makes our organization great!
Did you know that all ABAOC board members are 100% volunteers? We all work tirelessly to help and support the small businesses in Orange County. Some of our board members have been volunteering for more than 15 years. Give our ABAOC board members a HUGE round of applause...
I am proud to accept the President-Elect nomination, and am looking forward to advance our noble cause next year and beyond!
Thank you everyone for attending our Breakthrough Gala Night!
Now let's get grooving and dancing!!
The above speech was delivered by Sanjay Dalal, ABAOC President-Elect 2012, at the ABAOC Breakthrough Awards Gala Night Event at Disneyland Hotel in Anaheim, CA on Nov 19 evening.
