7 February – HKDA Spring Dinner
We are honored to be invited by the Young Dentists Group of The Hong Kong Dental Association (HKDA) to attend their Spring Dinner. It was a very entertaining and unforgettable evening to have the chance to listen to the Secretary for Food and Health Dr York Y N Chow’s singing performance! Our Vice Chairman Miss Michelle Chung was also one of the guest singers with the dentist’s band show. We also met leaders of other young professional groups during the dinner, and discussed the potential to host more joint professional social events in the coming year. Stay tuned.
9-12 February – Education & Career Expo 2012
The Education & Careers Expo for 2012 was successfully held between 9 and 12 February 2012. President Ms Serena Lau delivered a talk subjected “Prospects and Entry Requirement of Surveying Profession” to students and parents. Our YSG helpers also introduced the works of professional surveyors, and shared their own experience in study and work as a surveyor to the visitors.
