The Governance Connect Program provides a platform for HKCSS Agency Members and persons from various professions to get to know each other. Through Governance Engagement Days, participating agencies can meet with professionals who are passionate to serve the welfare sector and may consider inviting them to be advisors or committee members, so as to strengthen their governance capacity for long-term development. The first Governance Engagement Day connecting Rotarians was held on 6 December 2018 where representatives of NGOs and Rotarians met for the first time.
