Ir K K LAM, Chairman for
Session 2020/2021
I am truly
honoured to be elected the Chairman of the Structural Division for session
2020/21.
First of all, I
would like to express my sincere thanks to the Immediate Past Chairman, Ir
Professor Ben YOUNG, for his brilliant leadership in guiding the Division
through the difficult time during the outbreak of the COVID 19. Despite the pandemic,
thanks to the collective efforts of Committee members, we still managed to
achieve a lot during last session. I am also most grateful to committee members
for their dedication and contribution to Division in giving it a successful year.
The continuous
success of the Division is attributed to the great leadership of all the past
chairmen, and dedication and hard work of all the committee members. As Chairman
of the coming session, I will do everything that I can to sustain the momentum and
continue the success of the Division.
While striving to
promote image of Structural Engineers in the community, I will relentlessly promote
advancement of structural engineering through the exchange of knowledge and
experience on different platforms by arranging annual seminar, technical
meetings, technical visits, etc., so that members could keep abreast of the
industrial trends and developments.
To promote
sustainability of engineering profession by nurturing the next generation of
youngsters and arousing their interest in structural engineering has always
been one of the missions of the Division. We will co-organise with local
universities a competition amongst secondary students “the Structural
Engineering for Youth” to encourage them to think about and adopt basic
engineering principles in achieving a given task objective or overcoming a
given challenge in the most efficient and effective way.
To attend to the
needs of our engineering fellow members, we will continue to update and prepare
Codes of Practice Handbooks with a view to facilitating the use of the codes by
members and to maintaining consistently high levels and standards in the
engineering profession.
Last but not the
least, I would like to express my appreciation to your continuous support to
the Division in the past and hope to receive your continuous support in future.
