2.4 / Proposal of Honourary Chairman of HUCMS
The proposed “Honourary Chairmen” from HUCMS was discussed in the meeting.The titles of “Honourary Chairman”and “Honourable Chairman” were discussed. The committee was of the view that the word “Honourable”would mean someone deserving honours, and would normally be applied for highly esteemed persons, whilst the latter would mean a person holding an unpaid or volunteered position. After thorough discussion, the committee considered that “Honourable Chairman” would be more than what the Alumni or HUCMS could confer, and agreed unanimously to adopt the title of “Honourary Chairman”. In addition, as the person could be gentleman or lady, a neutral title of “Honourary Chairperson” was suggested and agreed.
With regard to the forfeiture clause, the committee considered that should any Honourary Chairperson forfeit the title, he or she may do so, but subject to theacceptance by the Committee.
The proposal of “Honourable Chairman”as proposed by HUCMS was endorsed by the Committee subject to the above amendments.
