The newly elected team under the President ship of Mr. Zakkir Ahmed had their first Managing Committee meeting in Mumbai on the 22^nd August 2012.

The South Africa convention to be held in Durban has been postponed to February 2013 to enable the new team to have sufficient time to focus on bringing value to the convention and organize it to bring optimum value to the delegates.
