Message from the Chairman
 

Dear members and friends,


As the newly appointed Chairperson of the Chartered Institute of Housing's Asian Pacific Branch (Branch), I feel incredibly honored. Together with the new Executive Committee, we will continue to uphold the mission of our organisation. We are dedicated to promoting the contributions of housing management professionals to society, which has always been the mission of our organisation. In our future work, we will pay closer attention to and respond to the needs of our mainland members. In 2025, with the support of the CIH headquarters, we will be entrusted with managing affairs related to our mainland members. We will also actively participate in the development of housing management in the Greater Bay Area, fostering professional collaboration and exchange within the region. Additionally, we will fully support institutions in developing property management courses to cultivate more new professional talent, injecting fresh blood into the industry. This year, we are organizing a shadow work program for Hong Kong students in the UK. This program will select students from Hong Kong courses certified by us and arrange for them to experience a shadow work internship in the UK, allowing them to gain insight into local property and housing management practices. We will continue to support government policies by providing professional advice and are dedicated to assisting the professional development of property management, contributing to social progress. Additionally, we will keep providing comprehensive continuous professional development training for over 3,500 members, including specialized seminars and field trips, to continuously enhance their professional knowledge and practical experience.


The year 2026 marks the 60th anniversary of our organisation. This is not only a reflection on past achievements but also a vision for future development. In 2025, we will kick off various activities to prepare for this significant milestone.


Let us work hand in hand to embrace new challenges and strive tirelessly for the advancement of the housing management profession. Thank you all for your trust and support, and I look forward to creating a bright future together!


Keith Kwong, Chairman
