ICE Breaker 2023

It is my distinct honour to be the Chairman of the Institution of Civil Engineers
Hong Kong Association Graduates and Students Division (ICE HKA G&S) for
9-1-1 Session 2022-2023. I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude
for the support from the ICE HKA committee, the Regional Support Team and
in particular the dedication of my G&S committee over the past year. We have
continued to provide a blend of physical and online events while our city is
recovering from Covid-19. Following on from the words of Her late Majesty
the Queen ‘We will meet again.’, we had a strong comeback in 2022, where
we had more face-to-face events in 2022 than the combined total in 2020 and
2021 and we will continue exploring such engagement opportunities.

ICE HKA G&S endeavours to organise events catering for our members’ personal and professional
development in both local and international contexts. It is our objective to be a platform for our
members to pursue their professional goals in the civil engineering industry. In this regard, we have
organised a broad spectrum of events including technical visits and seminars, networking opportunities,
career workshops, overseas delegations and volunteering activities with audience and participants
coming from around the globe. We were presented with plenty of infrastructure projects in the Chief
Executive’s Policy Address 2022, and I firmly believe that the future of young engineers and our industry
is nothing but bright. I wish to extend a warm welcome to more graduates and students to join and
support us to make the community a thriving place.
