The Chinese Club of San Marino has had a
tradition since its founding that a board member who has severed a term of
three years will not seek for reelection so other members of the community can
have opportunity to not only volunteer their services to the community but also
learn the rules and practices of a democratic society by serving on the board.
In order to assist the new members of the
board to maintain the continuity of the operation of the Club an advisory
committee was organized to serve this function. The first advisory committee was formed
in 1989, but the regulation of its formation and functions were first added to
the Clubˇ¦s bylaws in 1993.
The current bylaws, revised again in 2004,
provide that those who are not current board members and have served on the
board for three or more years shall be members of the advisory committee. This committeeˇ¦s functions are as
follows:
- The advisory committee shall be providing services, advices,
and recommendations to the Club upon the request by the board of
directors.
- Members of the advisory committee shall be entitled to attend
the board of directorˇ¦s meeting as non-voting participants.
- Advisory committee may present itˇ¦s recommendations of any
issue to the board of directors for consideration.
The following are current and past
chairpersons of the advisory committee:
Jean Wang (1993), Mark Chen (1994, 1997 ˇV
1998), Steve Ho (1995), Robert Lay (1996, 2006 & 2007), Yee-Jen Shuai
(1999), Rosa Zee (2000), Sabrina Lin (2001), Cordelia Wong (2002), Se-Yao Hsu
(2003 ˇV 2004), and Becky Ung (2005).
(No chairpersons were named during years
1989 through 1992.)
