Yangju City Government Innovation Advisory Committee Appointment Ceremony... ‘There are no welfare experts’... Professor Lim Do-bin is the chairperson.

Welfare is included as a sidekick in the Education, Sports and Social Affairs Division... ‘Selected as a policy task for special education zones’

[Brate News Yangju = Reporter Kim Wan-young] Yangju-si, Gyeonggi-do (Mayor Kang Soo-hyun) held an appointment ceremony and general meeting for the newly launched ‘Yangju City Municipal Innovation Advisory Committee’ in the city hall conference room on the 25th.

At the meeting on this day, Mayor Kang Soo-hyun delivered a letter of appointment to the members of the City Administration Innovation Advisory Committee and elected executives, including the chairman, and discussed six policy research tasks in the subsequent subcommittee meeting.

Last August, the Municipal Administration Innovation Advisory Committee discovered experts in each field with abundant professional knowledge and experience in six divisions (municipal innovation, education, sports, society, culture and tourism, economy and jobs, balanced urban development, and government-military cooperation). ·A total of 49 people were appointed, and the committee plans to conduct research on major policy tasks, serve as an advisor to policy projects, and conduct research on key policy tasks for the development of city administration by subcommittee.

Yangju City's Municipal Administration Innovation Advisory Committee chairperson is Professor Lim Do-bin of Seoul National University, the Municipal Administration Innovation Subcommittee Chairperson is Lim Se-yeon, a design company representative, the Education, Sports and Society Subcommittee Chairperson is Assistant Professor Seo Jeong-dae Cho Min-sik, the Culture and Tourism Subcommittee Chairperson is a director of the Hotel Managers Association, and the Economy and Jobs Subcommittee Chairperson is Moon Mi-seong of the Gyeonggi Research Institute and the City. The Chairman of the Balanced Development Subcommittee is Professor Park Dong-hoon of Catholic University, and the Chairman of the Government-Military Cooperation Subcommittee is Professor Kim Gap-soo of Daejin University.

In response, a professor majoring in welfare who lives in Yangju City said, “Is Yangju City’s welfare policy so excluded from interest that it cannot even be included in the name of each department(?). He said, “It is clear that it is an important policy in city administration because the ‘Welfare and Culture Bureau’ is included in the Yangju City organizational chart.” He added, “I don’t understand it based on common sense.”

Another nursing-related major said, “There are about 200 welfare-related public officials affiliated with the Yangju City Welfare and Culture Bureau. However, the city’s ‘Civil-Military Cooperation Team’ of the Government-Military Cooperation Division only has three people. An organization works as a system. “Because the City Administration Innovation Advisory Committee also works as an organization, the input of experts from the naming department is very meaningful,” he said, giving an example.

Yangju Mayor Kang Soo-hyun said, “As the Municipal Administration Innovation Advisory Committee is comprised of experts in each field, we ask for active advice and activities from members to help Yangju City develop further.” He added, “We will do our best to ensure that the committee’s diverse opinions are reflected in municipal administration.” said.
