Selections of the members to the Board of Directors seats
In addition to professional backgrounds and professional expertise, the Company's board of directors members should further possess the expertise required by the Company's business planning and business undertakings. To help the Board of Directors members enhance the professionalism and continuous improvement, given the scope beyond the professional capabilities of the directors to choose and cover such professional courses in finance, risk management, business, commerce, legal affairs, accounting, corporate social responsibility, or internal control systems related to the nature of the company's business undertakings, we arrange and required each and every Board of Directors member to receive and complete at least six (6) hours of refresher and advanced study every year. Thanks to such sound planning and system, all board of directors members will keep themselves abreast of the up-to-date know-how required for the industry.
Here at Sinyi Group, we launched the chairperson succession plan quite many years ago, cultivating the Company's internal senior executives to enter the Board of Directors and familiarize them with the operation of the board of directors. Besides, routinely, we have tried to expand their participation in the operating units of the Group, and experience in job rotation, assignment, and the like. Finally, after the full re-election of the Board of Directors members in May 2019, exactly in the same month, Chairperson Chou Chun-Chi successfully handed over his chairmanship to Mr. Hsueh Chien-Ping, the former General Manager and Vice-Chairperson of the Company. Former Chairperson Chou Chun-Chi, who is the very founder of Sinyi Group, currently serves as the Company's director. The Company has established a talent pool of independent directors, and will update the list in due course to facilitate the selection of future independent directors.
In order to accelerate the Company's digital transformation and enable the members of the Board of Directors to better understand, support and then give instructions, Sinyi Co., Ltd., the juristic-person director of the Company, has reappointed Mr. Chou Ken-Yu as its new representative, replacing Vice Chairperson Ms. Chou Wang Mei-Wen as the successor juristic-person director representative. Having been served in the sales and staff divisions of the Company with complete qualifications, Director Chou Ken-Yu is familiar with real estate brokerage business, data application, etc., and has also devoted himself to the Company's digital transformation plan in recent years.
Mr. Chou Ken-Yu, the CTO of the Company, accepted the nomination and became member of the 14th Board of Directors on May 19, 2022. He was elected as Vice Chairperson during the board meeting held on September 27, 2022.
Owing to Chairperson Liu Yuan-Chi's premature retirement for personal health reasons, Vice Chairperson Chou Ken-Yu was appointed as Chairperson by the Board of Directors in 2023. He has been a director since May 2022. Furthermore, given his extensive experience within the Company, he is already well-versed in its operations and can seamlessly take on the role of the Company's chairperson.
In 2022, in response to the business development of the Company, we planned to select an independent director with a background and experience in the real estate development industry. Mr. Wu Zhi-wei, the members of the 14th session of the Board of Directors of the Company, has served as an independent director of Cathay Pacific Construction for several years and through his relevant experience, he shall inject more insights into the Board of Directors.
Chairman Liu Yuan-Chih, the legal representative of Sinyi Co., Ltd. retired. The legal director of Sinyi Co., Ltd. resigned as chairman but continues to serve as a director of the Company. In October 2023, Ms. Chen Li-Sin was appointed as her representative to become a director of the Company, increasing the proportion of female directors to 28.6%.
