Quality Building Management Workshop Series 2006
************************************************

    To promote quality building management, the Home Affairs Department's Building Management Resource Centre (New Territories East) is organising a series of nine workshops between June and November.  

     The series will be kicked off by a workshop on the operation of owners' corporations on June 29, with a speaker from the Law Society of Hong Kong. Enrolments are now open.

     Members of the public who successfully register for the workshop and attend it will be issued with a certificate. Those from owners' corporations and mutual aid committees of private buildings will have priority in enrolling.

     The workshop will be held from 7.30pm to 9pm at the Resource Centre, Room 510, 5/F, Sha Tin Government Offices, 1 Sheung Wo Che Road, Sha Tin. Applicants may either enrol at the centre or call 2158 5433 for registration forms.

     A quiz will be held between July 2 and 22 on the topic to enhance public awareness. A limited number of souvenir gifts will be awarded to those who have answered the questions correctly.
