MEMBERSHIP DIRECTORY & E-MEMBERSHIP CARDS
We wish you a healthy and prosperous year of 2021! For the upcoming year, the Federation will continue to foster global co-operation, enhance communication exchanges and synergy among the Hong Kong business associations worldwide. We are pleased to provide some updates of the Federation:
i) Membership Directory
As Hong Kong Forum was conducted by online format in last December, hard copy of Membership Directory was unable to distribute to members as per usual practice. With aim to enable members to have easy access to the Directory and also for the sake of environmental friendliness, the Membership Directory 2020/2021 has been produced as digital version. Please click here for the full Membership Directory 2020/2021. Meanwhile, all information could also be found here with timely updates.
ii) E-membership Cards Distribution
Same as last year, e-membership cards will be distributed to BA secretariats/ co-ordinators by late February 2021 for registered Federation members. If some of your members have not registered as Federation members yet, please encourage them to register at https://www.hkfederation.org.hk/signup by 1 February 2021. The e-membership cards will be valid till 31 January 2022.
E-membership Card sample as below:
For any enquiries, please feel free to contact the Secretariat at hkfederation@hktdc.org.
Let’s stay strong and continue to support each other to prevail in this challenging period!
Best regards,
Irene Hau
Federation Secretary
