Congretulations to the newly elected Way In leadership and committee team and best wishes for the future management and cooperation of all Way In members. As mentioned by Dr Helen Sham Ho, our association is known in English as “Way In Network” as the old saying goes “One should conduct oneself with dignity before others would follow suit”. This is to iron out differences and is the only way to be acceptable and respected.
