The Chamber's Women Executive Club (WEC) held its first official meeting on Sept. 12 to announce the goals and future direction of the club. Chamber Vice Chairman Dr Lily Chiang said in her opening remarks that as half of Hong Kong's workforce is female, and that many of the Chamber's members are women, it seemed fitting that the Chamber should establish a club specifically for women.

Fanny Lai, who suggested the Chamber establish WEC about three years ago, said the club will act as a vehicle to serve interests of women at large, but stressed that for the club to be a success, it needs support from its members.

Sylvia Chiu, general manager, Hotel Miramar, who was elected president of WEC, said that the club provides a platform to enhance knowledge, network, and focus on business topics and issues that are of interest to women.
