Young Members Committee - Session 2024/2025

Chairman’s Message

By Ms KAM Wing Sum, Keiko

It is my great honour to serve as Chairman of the YMC for Session 2024/2025. I would like to first express my heartfelt gratitude to all Past Chairmen for their successful leadership, to our Committee Members, Co-opted Members, Event Coordinators, helpers, and all our members for their continuous support of the YMC.

Throughout my journey in the HKIE and YMC, I have received countless opportunities to explore and challenge myself, and to gain knowledge and exposure to the engineering profession and the Institution.

Celebrating the 40th anniversary of the YMC, I have selected "Empowering Talents Uniting Communities", as the theme. It speaks to the core of our mission - to cultivate the next generation of engineers and empower them to make a lasting impact, as well as emphasizing the YMC as the nexus of Hong Kong young engineers.

In a rapidly evolving technological landscape, the need for innovative, socially conscious engineers has never been greater. Through our society, we provide a dynamic platform for young engineers to sharpen their skills, explore cutting-edge fields, and forge meaningful connections with like-minded peers. Looking back, we have created many flagship events - the Overseas Delegation, Young or Ready Series, Leadership Training Camp etc. By empowering each individual to embrace their unique strengths and passions, we cultivate a vibrant ecosystem of problem-solvers, dreamers, and change-makers.

Our vision extends beyond individual growth. I believe that by uniting these exceptional talents, we can tackle the most pressing challenges facing our communities. From sustainable energy solutions to inclusive infrastructural design, our members are poised to bridge divides, foster collaboration, and drive lasting, positive impact. Together, we will harness the power of engineering to build a more vibrant, resilient, and connected world.

With our experienced members and new blood in the YMC this session, I am confident that we will bring great insights and continuous improvement to the YMC and better serve our members. May I take this opportunity to appeal for your support and active participation in our 40th-anniversary celebration, and to work together to contribute to our engineering society by “Empowering Talents Uniting Communities”.
