ZONTA CLUB OF THENEW TERRITORIES II

I am humbled by the trust of the NTII’s past and current Board of Directors to have elected me to lead the Zonta Club of the New Territories II (“ZCNTII”) as its President for the biennium of 2022-2024. ZCNTII is a group of energetic and vibrant professional and high-achieving women, who come together to nest care and support for the needy, target gender equality at work, at home and in the wider community and strive, together, to serve others and build a collegial and supportive women community. As a post-pandemic President for a vibrant club, I set the goal of helping women who suffered by the pandemic to repair their loss, rebuild their confidence, and regain momentum in their lives. On our community service front, NTII will pave roads for young single mothers and victims of domestic violence to receive professional training for careers they have not imagined, and align job opportunities that build careers, independence and confidence, enabling them to live healthily and bravely. On advocacy, we will continue to clear gender stereotypes through campaigns, talks and social media whilst promoting equal opportunities for women at work and at home. On fellowship, with a diverse program of wellness activities that help to enhance our members’ mind, body and soul, we also strive to provide advance leadership and career development training, enabling them to break the glass ceiling and eliminating imposter syndrome. We will involve our families and children in our family programme so to build a legacy of community service with our next generation. I will do my best to give and to serve, while overcoming any challenges with the goal to build a strong support network that will continue to grow as we mature. As women, we live multiple roles, and as professionals, the numerous commitments on our shoulders that demand our attention can be overwhelming. Yet, I am confident that our humble contribution today can go a long way. By adding that one more role as a Zontian, we are not only servicing for those who need us, but also pledging to live our lives with deeper meaning, substance and legacy. I hope to have your support in building a much better world together.
