President's message

This is my fifth year being a JCI member and I gained a lot of friends in JCI in the past 4 years. There is so much for me to learn and enjoy in JCI. Our slogan this year is: One team One dream.

"'One Team. One Dream' means to me, that our combined efforts towards excellence make for a single unit of excellence.

"One team one dream" means that when everyone in a team works together towards a common goal, success is more

likely. It emphasizes unity, cooperation, and shared aspirations, highlighting the importance of collaboration and collective effort in achieving success.

It is also consistent with JCI Mission: “To provide development opportunities that empower young people to create positive

change.” Our team is going to create more opportunities and possibilities for the chapter. Our KPI and plans in the coming year includes the following:

1. I will launch a “Mentoring program” . The first KPI of that is to achieve 10 pairs of mentorships. This mentoring program that fosters growth and development. Pair experienced mentors with mentees, provide structured guidance and support, encourage regular communication , lunch or dinner meeting and feedback, and offer resources for skill-building and knowledge sharing.

2. With the thank you to our IPP Emma Yu, I will carry on to relay the previous project called “Sustainable Lantau”, which combined community development, leadership development and business affairs areas. In 2024, there will be a Vegetarian theme as flagship project.

Every little step counts and only by going further as a whole, we can together weather more milestones with JCI Lantau. In 2024, we will be "One team one dream".

2022 4th Issue

The journey of presidency is full of challenges, full of uncertainties, yet full of fruitfulness. Unarguably, 2022 is another difficult year with the 5th wave of pandemic hitting Hong Kong at the beginning of the year. Countless challenges were encountered; Countless decisions had to be made. Many of the members asked me how I was able to make JCI Lantau a better chapter this year. Here I would like to share the three essential ingredients:

100% of courage; the courage to promise and the courage to undertake.
200% of perseverance; insist on achieving every goal, even if it is not perfect.
300% of team spirit; this brand new team of directors was only formed in October last year. It is not easy to set goals and plan for projects for the whole year within a short period. Meanwhile, most of the board of directors have joined the chapter for less than one year, with little experience in JCI. However, having the same goal to “Do Well and Do Good”, our team is able to join hands to overcome challenges, learn quickly and devote ourselves to deliver high quality projects that even exceed our expectations at the beginning of the year.

Winning the award is just the result. Throughout the year, I had been nervous, I had been cheerful, I had been congratulated and comforted with each other. The memories of all these are more precious than anything and everything.

I would like to express my sincere appreciation to all members of JCI Lantau for granting me the opportunity to lead our beloved Chapter in 2022 with my Board of Directors. “Do Well. Do Good”, is not only the slogan of 2022 – a theme that exemplifies the spirit of growing members yourself, but also a mindset that how JCI Lantau serves our community. My heartiest thanks to my beloved 2022 Board of Directors for always being by my side, supporting each other and making our targets and dreams come true.

In addition, whether inside or outside the chapter, every word of encouragement and expectation have given me energy to overcome every difficulty. Thank you all for making Lantau 2022 together, and creating one beautiful moment after another.

I would also like to express my heartfelt thank you to Presidential Advisors Past National President Senator Spencer Li, Chapter President Senator Boris Kam, Past President Senator Vincent Chung, Past President Senator Brian Woo, Immediate Past President Gary Cheong, all Past Presidents and EXO for their generous support, continuous contribution and valuable insights. Their advice and support taught me how to be a better leader and guided me through challenges. This year would not be successful without you all.

Heartfelt thanks to my beloved 2022 Board of Directors, Officers, Project Chairmen and Project Organizing Committee for accompanying me during this challenging yet rewarding journey and unconditionally contributing your efforts and time towards the advancement of the Chapter. Words cannot express how grateful I am to have embarked on a new journey for the Chapter this year, it truly is one of the most unforgettable moments I had in JCI Lantau.

CHEERS TO 2022!

On behalf of the JCI Lantau 2022 Board of Directors, Happy New Year and wish you all love, joy and peace in the year ahead!

“With great power comes great responsibility” - Uncle Ben, 'Spider-Man’

It is a quote come from a well-known comic and movie, Spider-man and it is always in my mind. The quote has a simple meaning: if you have the ability, you have the responsibility to do good for the others.

From teenager to now, I have always taken different opportunities to serve as a volunteer from various organizations to benefit our community. With the support of our passionate members, it is my honour to serve as the President of JCI Lantau in 2022.

“Do Well. Do Good” is the theme of 2022. For each of us, “Do Well” means enriching personal quality and skillset. For JCI Lantau as a whole, “Do Well” further means having continuous membership growth, strong bonding among members, as well as enhanced branding and reputation. “Do Good” is to improve society through different projects. It is also consistent with JCI Mission: “To provide development opportunities that empower young people to create positive change.” We want to create more opportunities and possibilities for the chapter.

This year, we will launch a flagship project - the Sustainable Lantau. It is not only about the community development but also related to leadership development and business affairs. By implementing a series of events like field trips, workshops and competitions, we hope that we will bring more young talents to join our chapter, and inspire their personal growth.

To conclude this greeting, please reserve 4-6pm on 22nd January, 2021 (Saturday) for our 2022 Inaugural Ceremony cum January Monthly Fellowship Gathering, which will be conducted at Conference Hall, 4/F, HKPC Building, 78 Tat Chee Avenue, Kowloon, Hong Kong. The registration link as below:

It would be our greatest honour to have your presence on this special occasion.

You don’t have to be a superhero. It’s possible to do small actions that have a big impact in the world.

“Do Well, Do Good” is not just a theme, it’s a mentality and a way of life that we would like to encourage everyone to embody. Let us join hands to be the best version of ourselves!

Warmest Regards,

Emma Yu

2022 President
