It is the first time in the PAHK’s history that four
of its former chairs have been re-elected to the Board, and steer the
organization through its varied activities this year.
Kwong takes over as chair from Mark Yabut, who was
himself a former head of the organization before being asked to assume the
position again last year, amid the challenges wrought by the pandemic.
