NEWS FROM THE BOARD News from the Board By Jessica Cheng, Recording Secretary IN DECEMBER 2017, a friend cornered me at a Christmas party and asked if I would be interested in joining the AWA executive board, as the incumbent recording secretary had to leave Hong Kong suddenly. It was a surprise as it was not something I had previously considered, but the following month Andrea Roth, the AWA president at the time, appointed me to fill the newly vacated position. My friend thought I would be a good fit as the role of recording secretary requires being organized and patient, with a talent for details. What I hadn’t anticipated is that a position on the AWA executive board means not only making sure all the requirements of a position are fulfilled, but also taking an instrumental part in the discussions that guide the overall organization. In our board meetings we work together to guide the AWA through issues such as splitting into a club and a foundation, technology decisions and figuring out what organizations to partner with. After my appointment to finish my predecessor’s term concluded, I was nominated and elected twice for the position. All elected AWA board positions come up for election once a year and you may run twice for the same position for two consecutive years. This month starts the nomination season for the July 2020–June 2021 term. The elected positions on the board are listed below. All roles are open for nomination; however, the three denoted by an asterisk are currently filled with board members who are interested and eligible to continue their role in the coming membership year. We need new blood for the six remaining positions: President* Recording Secretary 1st VP, Fundraising Charitable Donations Chairperson 2nd VP, Membership Community Service Chairperson* 3rd VP, Activities* Education & Scholarship Chairperson Treasurer If you would be interested in learning more about these positions, the job descriptions and requirements can be found on the AWA website under Member Resources > Forms > Board and Organization Information > Executive Board Job Descriptions. You can also contact any of the executive board members, including myself, via our contact details on the last page of this magazine. The AWA executive board needs committed women with a range of skills and talents to operate successfully. If you are interested in the challenge or know someone who may be a good fit, please fill out the electronic nomination form that will be sent out via the AWA e-newsletter on February 15. Candidates will then be interviewed by the nomination committee, a group of women selected from the AWA membership to interview candidates and prepare the nomination slate. Please consider if the AWA executive board is a good fit for you! 2 AWARE February 2020 AWA ENJOYS Avenue of the Stars Stroll and Lunch at Rosewood Hong Kong Welcome New Members Tayma Page Allies Clare Butler Marlies Gerritsen-Feenstra Karen Gollob Susana Halliday Jane Kim Jennifer Lewis Leasha Quinn Grace Scully Linda Vanderpyl What’s for Supper?

  • RDFC Paper No. 7/2020 Annex 4
    Annex IV Environmental Hygiene Problem in Stanley and Shek O During Holidays Responses by Relevant Government Departments (a) Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department (AFCD) The Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department (AFCD) has all along been committed to keeping country parks clean and promoting the protection of countryside to the public. AFCD launched the “Take Your Litter Home” publicity and education programme in 2015 in collaboration with a number of local partner organisations to encourage the public to nurture a good habit of taking away their own waste after hiking or visiting country parks, and all litter containers and recycling bins along the hiking trails within country parks have been removed by the end of 2017. Since the launch of the “Take Your Litter Home” publicity and education programme, it has been effective in enhancing the public awareness towards waste reduction and environmental conservation during their visit to the countryside. Noting that many members of the public visited the country parks recently, AFCD has agilely deployed manpower to step up site inspections and cleansing, and provided litter containers of large volume at specific sites for the use of visitors where necessary. Regarding the situation of Tai Tam Country Park and Shek O Country Park, AFCD has deployed staff and cleansing contractors for carrying out daily cleansing at recreational sites and hiking trails inside the concerned country parks. If serious litter problem is found at individual locations, AFCD also stepped up cleansing effort as appropriate. In addition, AFCD has also strengthened education and publicity efforts through various channels, including displaying banners and posters in country park areas with high visitor flow, urging visitors to maintain environmental hygiene through radio programmes and advertisements at MTR, further promoting “Take Your Litter Home” and good hiking manners, and publicising relevant messages through the networks of non-governmental organisations and partner organisations.

    立法會 Legislative Council LC Paper No. CB(1)205/12-13(02) Ref: CB1/PL/TP Panel on Transport Special meeting on 27 November 2012 Background brief on safety of franchised bus operation and safety of long downhill roads Purpose This paper gives an account of the major views and concerns expressed by Legislative Council ("LegCo") Members and the Panel on Transport ("the Panel") in past discussion on the safety of franchised bus operation and safety of long downhill roads. Background 2. The Transport Department ("TD") monitors the operation of franchised bus services in accordance with the Public Bus Services Ordinance (Cap. 230) and the Road Traffic Ordinance ("RTO") (Cap. 374) and their Regulations. The franchised bus operators are required to carry out maintenance and repair as the Commissioner for Transport may specify, and TD's examiners are empowered to inspect the buses and maintenance facilities at any reasonable time. While buses should observe the general speed limits designated on roads, the maximum speed of a bus is restricted under RTO to 70 km/h on roads with a posted speed limit over 70km/h. 3. The Panel has all along been actively following the items on safety of long downhill roads and safety of franchised bus operation. The major incidents involving the operation of franchised buses and happening on long downhill roads are set out below. Traffic accident on Tuen Mun Road 4. Following a serious traffic accident happened on Tuen Mun Road on 10 July 2003, in which a bus carrying 40 passengers broke through a section of vehicular parapet and plunged into the hillside about 31 metres beneath, resulting in 21 fatalities and 20 injuries, the Chief Executive - 2 - appointed an independent Expert Panel to examine and make recommendations on safety measures to prevent similar catastrophes.
