Social service veteran Gerard Ee steps down as chairperson of Agency for Integrated Care
Anita Fam, immediate past president of the National Council of Social Service, will take over.
Gerard Ee, a 77-year-old social service veteran, is resigning as chairperson of the Agency for Integrated Care (AIC). Anita Fam, a 63-year-old lawyer, will assume the position. Ee has been leading the national agency since 2018, overseeing its significant expansion and enhanced impact. The AIC, which coordinates care services for seniors and their caregivers, has broadened its scope to include preventive health initiatives.
In 2018, the Pioneer Generation Office was integrated with the AIC, boosting its ability to identify and connect seniors with necessary care schemes. Ee's leadership in strengthening the organization's collective leadership and people management culture was particularly noted. Prior to his role at the AIC, Ee held various leadership positions in public roles, including chairmanship of the Public Transport Council and the Charity Council, as well as President of the National Council of Social Service (NCSS).
Fam, who is a lawyer by training, is the immediate past president of the NCSS and has extensive leadership experience in social, healthcare, and community sectors. Her contributions were recognized with the Ministry of Social and Family Development's Lifetime Achievement Award and the President's Volunteerism & Philanthropy Award in 2025.
