The Arts and Tourism Writers Association of Ghana (ATWAG) held its handing over ceremony and new year party on Saturday.
The programme took place at the Accra Tourist Information Centre, with members of the Association and other arts stakeholders in attendance.
The induction and handing-over ceremony was conducted by Prince Osisiadan, a lawyer, who urged the members to be wary of defamatory stories that may land them in trouble.

Fashion designer, Vera Adu-Amaning, also took over from Mustapha Nii Okai Inusah, a writer with modernghana.com as the organiser.
The Research Officer position for the next four years will be occupied by Stanley Awuku Wilson, a blogger with Ashaiman TV.
Citi FM’s Kwame Dadzie handed over the baton to entertainment journalist, Gloria Akpene-Acquah aka MzGee as the Public Relations Officer.
The outgoing President, William Asiedu, in his address, recounted the hard work and dedication that went into building the association and admonished members to uphold the tenets of the profession and work towards making their work as arts and tourism writers more impactful.

Speaking at the ceremony, the new President of ATWAG, George Nii Armah Quaye promised he would do all things within his power to elevate the association from where the previous administration left off.
He, therefore, urged the members to put all hands on deck to make sure they achieve their desired goals.
