Annual General Meeting 2016 and Other Things

The Annual General Meeting was held on February 27, 2016 at Beef & Liberty in Wan Chai. The AGM material can be downloaded by clicking here: HKTXAGM2016.

At the meeting, Ivy Yung volunteered to join the Interim Administration Unit (IAU) while the all current members of the IAU (Winson Chan, Victor Nip, and Carl Sung) will continue to be in the IAU. The term of the IAU will officially start on July 1, 2016 unless we have an Executive Committee elected before that date. The IAU members will decide among themselves who will be the Chief Administrator and who will be the Treasurer.

With that said, the IAU would like to invite our members to stand for election as the Executive Committee members of HKTX.  If you are interested to become members of the Executive Committee, please contact Victor (the Election Officer) at victor.nip@hktx.org.

The IAU would also like to invite our members to organize activities for the members of HKTX. The IAU is only responsible for preserving the existence of HKTX. So, we need our members to organize social activities for the other members. Last year, the IAU have identified a number of activities that our members may host/volunteer in:

  • Happy hour gatherings
  • Football watching parties
  • Casual dinner
  • Hiking
  • Chinese festival gatherings (e.g., Mid-Autumn Festival and Chinese New Year)
  • Meeting the UT Wind Ensemble
  • Meeting students of the BBA study abroad program
  • Sports activities (e.g., bowling)
  • Publication of the newsletter

During the fiscal year, our members have organized football watching parties and a hiking event. If you are interested in organizing an activity for our members to join, please contact the IAU at hongkong@alumni.utexas.net.

Until next time, may the ‘Horns be with y’all!

Interim Administration Unit, HKTX
