Introduction
The following issues are considered strategic to the sustainable growth of HKUGA, at least for the coming few years. The plan takes into account of HKUGA's strength and resources, and attempts to optimize our operation in an effective and efficient way, to achieve best results and maintain enhanced members' relationships. It is a challenging plan and required the concerted effort of the Executive Committee, helpers in function groups and the support of all members to realize it.


Membership
HKUGA currently does not have sufficient young members. Although the situation has improved moderately, greater effort should be placed in expansion of membership.

Detailed action plans are needed and they have to be implemented effectively to achieve measurable results. For example, each year the Executive Committee should set a target of the number of new members to be recruited or added to its promotion list.

Campaigns amongst the Executive Committee and members should be organized to achieve better distribution of age groups of new membership. Mentorship scheme participants are important sources of young members. Mentor members should also be encouraged to bring their mentees to join HKUGA activities, introduce HKUGA to them and seek their agreement to include their email address in HKUGA's promotion list. Exco or members who contribute the most email addresses to the promotion list and/or help recruiting new members should be given awards.


Leadership and leadership structure
We should achieve a more even distribution of exco members from different age groups. Currently there is insufficient exco from the 1980s and early 1990s. Extra effort should be placed to recruit exco from these age groups.

Within the exco committee, different functions should be implemented by different sub groups which may include non exco members. This new system can help ensuring the different tasks of UGA will be implemented without discontinuity even though some of the members in the sub groups may be too busy with their jobs periodically.


Internal documentation
Indexation of internal documents should be strengthen so that activities can be run systematically.


Member communications
Irregular communication of activities should be mainly by email to minimize resources. Website should be updated frequently. However, more effort and resources should be put in the annual dinner publication which is a summary of the year's activities. This need planning months ahead of the annual dinner.


Financial resources
The major income of UGA is the membership fee. The more new memberships we recruit, the more membership fee we will receive. We should strengthen efforts to collect membership fee.

The membership fee should only be used to support daily administration of UGA. All the different form of UGA activities should be self financed and, as far as practicable, should contribute small profit to support UGA administration. However, we believe that the different activities groups under UGA should not charge membership fee. Such fee should only apply to non-UGA members.


Premise upgrading
The existing 36 years old residential premise should be swapped for a grade B office of younger age to preserve the value of our fixed assets and image. Under the current market condition, aged property is not popular and we have to revised the approved sale price downward to HK$1,600 per sq. ft.


Activities
We should deal with HKUGA Scholarship scheme which is running out of funds. Regular activities such as the annual dinner should be planned earlier.
