To : Council members, staff, students and the Convocation Dear all, Invitation for possible nominations to the Court for consideration by Council’s Nominations Committee Council’s Nominations Committee is responsible for making recommendations to the Chief Executive of HKSAR (CE) who is also the Chancellor of the University, for the appointment of lay Council members when vacancies arise under the category of membership which covers lay members appointed by the CE on the recommendation of the Council. The Nominations Committee is also delegated with the authority to recommend nominees to be appointed to the Court by the CE and to decide the nominees to be appointed under the category of Court membership determined by the Council. Decisions of the Committee are final and cannot be appealed. In view of the anticipated vacancies in the Court by the end of this year, I am writing, on behalf of the Nominations Committee, to invite you to submit names for consideration by the Nominations Committee. The Court which was established since 2007 is the supreme advisory body of the University. The Court enables the University to involve more members of the wider community in understanding, promoting and helping with the development of the University, including assistance in fundraising efforts to support various initiatives and activities. Further information on the Court can be obtained at http://www.cityu.edu.hk/court . You are invited to send names in strict confidence to the Council Secretariat by e-mail at cuc@cityu.edu.hk on or before 18 July 2014 for the consideration of the Nominations Committee. It would facilitate the Committee’s deliberation if a brief profile/ list of achievements of the persons concerned can be provided if this is available. It is important to note that those submitting names for the Nominations Committee’s consideration should not approach the nominees concerned. Dr. Kevin Downing |
