:: Vocational Service Project --Outstanding Vocational Service Achievement Awards::
In response to the call from the Rotary International to recognize the outstanding vocational achievements of Club members, the Vocational Service Committee of the Rotary Club of Hong Kong Island West organized the first Outstanding Vocational Service Achievement Awards for members of our Club. Due to the large number of qualified candidates in our Club, the Vocational Service Committee opted to choose members who have not only demonstrated outstanding vocational achievements in their career, but those who have been publicly recognized by independent organizations for their distinguished vocational achievements.
The Vocational Service Committee nominated five members, who were approved by the Board of Directors to receive our Club's Outstanding Vocational Service Achievement Award. The five Club members include:
| Name | Classification | Recent Recognition Received from Independent Organizations |
| Rtn. Bernard Chan | Hematology | Baron's Global 500 |
| Rtn. Wilson Chan | Rice Import | Bronze Bauhinia Medal from the HKSAR Government |
| PP Daniel Koo | Department Store | Honorary University Fellowship from the Open University of Hong Kong |
| PP George Hung | Air Conditioning Equipment Distribution | Honorary Doctorate Degree in Social Science from the Chinese University of Hong Kong |
| PP Steve Lau | Metal Manufacturing | Bronze Bauhinia Medal from the HKSAR Government |
On December 2, the Vocational Service Committee organized an Awards Presentation Ceremony at the Deep Water Bay Golf Club to recognize the recipients of the Outstanding Vocational Service Achievement Awards. During the Awards Ceremony, the Director of Vocational Service Allen Au informed Club members about the the vocational achievements about the 5 members. Souvenirs were then presented to Rtn.
