Presenting MEBO UK’s new Assistant Executive Director

It is with great pleasure that I announce Adrian J. McClay’s acceptance of the post of Assitant Executive Director of our not-for-profit Limited by Guarantee Company, MEBO Research (MEBO UK).

AJ's enthusiasm is inspiring and energizing, or should I say, “energising” as our British friends would say. He is now registered with this title with the Companies House of England and Wales.

Right before he left on holiday, AJ went over some ideas he had been thinking about, which he had noted on a piece of paper. This is what he said,

1. He would like to unite the various body odor and halitosis organizations and forums, though remaining separate entities, to work together as one for common causes.
2. AJ would like to kick off a monthly online MEBO UK Newsletter project. And as we brainstormed about this very exciting idea, we touched upon the importance of not only giving the news about what’s going on with MEBO, but also about any event or project that may be happening in the other forums and other bb & bo organizations, whether fundraising drives, meetups, organizing press events, testing or research programs, etc. – the sky is the limit! And of course, to complete this picture, I would LOVE it if this expansive effort would also receive input from other language sites as well.
3. As soon as Dr. Cheryl Fields, MEBO US Community Outreach Director heard about AJ's interest in doing the MEBO UK Newsletter, she jumped with excitement about doing a sister MEBO US Newsletter, and she’s looking forward to meet with AJ to discuss this further when he returns after New Years Eve. This is a perfect example of how excitement is contagious. Cheryl had mentioned starting a Newsletter before in the past, but now doing it with in conjunction with someone else makes it even more fun!
4. After Jo Jo in Seattle organized the Skunkhugs Skype Group to brainstorm on MEBO’s Raising awareness campaign, meetups, testing/research programs and fundraising projects, Jo Jo, who is also a moderator in Jimi’s Bad Breath Halitosis.com forum, is going to start a Newsletter for Jimi’s site using the same inter-organizational platform with Jimi’s consent.
5. AJ is also very interested in pursuing all avenues to ensure that MEBO UK will become a Charity in England and Wales, as MEBO currently is in the US.
6. Both AJ and I are keenly interested in developing the MEBO UK directorship with additional proactive directors so that we can expand our reach to all the countries in the Eastern Hemisphere. Obviously, directors of the UK company do not have to live in the UK, as I live in Miami, and the same goes for the US company. Let's think outside the box so the sky will be the limit!

These ideas that AJ presented are only scratching the surface of his innovative thinking, and I am looking forward to his return to begin our new venture of developing MEBO in the UK and the whole of the Eastern Hemisphere. Anyone interested in being a part of this pioneering work for MEBO, please drop me a line at maria.delatorre@meboresearch.org.

WELCOME, ADRIAN !
IT’S LOVELY HAVING YOU !!!
