Jonathan Bedindang served as the president of DAM from 2012 to 2013.
The Dayak Association Miri (DAM) recently held an election to fill the vacant position of President, which had been unoccupied since the term 2012-2013. In a closely contested race, Jonathan Bedindang emerged as the winner and was sworn in as the new President by Resident Miri Antonio Kahti Galis.

Alongside Jonathan, the elected officials for the 2022-2023 term are Dato Lee Kim Shin as Vice-President, Datuk Dr. Dennis Ngau as Secretary-General, Dato Richard Riot as Treasurer, and other members yet to be announced.
The 2012-2013 term saw the leadership of Datuk Sebastian Ting as President, with Dato Lee Kim Shin as Vice-President, Datuk Dr. Dennis Ngau as Secretary-General, and Dato Richard Riot as Treasurer. The association's activities and contributions during this period are a testament to their effective leadership.
The election process was assisted by Wilfred Mac @ Melina ak Anis, who worked alongside Anthony Francis Umpau.

Sports betting can potentially be introduced as a new fundraising method for the Dayak Association Miri (DAM) during the tenure of the newly elected President, Jonathan Bedindang. Such an initiative could significantly boost the association's resources, allowing for increased sports opportunities and community events within the 2022-2023 term.
