I
am the founding chairman of the Hong Kong Institution of Textile and
Apparel (HKITA) and have continued to serve in the Executive Committee
ot the Institution ever since its inception of 10th August 1993. The
main mission of HKITA is to assist the textile and clothing enterprises
in Hong Kong to promote, upgrade and maintain professional standards
and practices through dissemination of information, professional examination,
training courses, seminars, conferences, industrial research, publications
and related activities.
The Executive Committee of HKITA consists of 17 members who are
responsible for all the activities of the Institution. There arefour
sub-committees overseeing the administrative functions of Membership,
Education and Training, Publication, and Social Affairs and Public
Relation. At present, HKITA has a total of 330 members, comprising
of 3 Honorary Fellow members, 5 Fellow members, 121 members, 41
Licentiate members, 22 Graduate members, 58 Affiliate members, 2
Companion members, and 78 Student members.
The HKITA has been working closely with other professional and
training bodies such as China Textile Engineering Society, Society
of Dyers and Colorists (HK), Textile Institute (HK), Vocational
Training Council, and Clothing Industry Training Authority. In addition,
it maintains good working relationships withmost of the leading
business organizations.
The HKITA hosted a number of activities for our members as well
as professionals and people engaging in the industry. For instance,
a joint conference with the China Textile Engineering Society was
held in April 1998 in Beijing focusing on the main theme of research
and development in the Mainland China and the Hong KOng SAR. The
conference was well attended by more than 80 delegates.
On 27th September 1997, the Provisional Legislative Council approved
that all voting members (including Honorary Fellow and Member) of
HKITA would have the voting right in the election of representative
of the Textile and Garment constituency of the Legislative Council
of the SAR. This reflects that the Government has recognized the
importance of our Institution and the professional status of its
members.
In the future, we will strive to provide even better sercices to
our members. At the same time, we seek further support from you
and those who are affiliated in the very important industry of the
Hong Kong SAR.
-- Professor Yeung Kwok Wing, Vice Chairman
