SELECTION OF THE HONORARY CHAIRPERSON
The selection of the Honorary Chairperson is a meticulous process reserved for those individuals whose influence, integrity, and achievements align with the values of the organization. This esteemed position is not open to the public; instead, it is by invitation only, ensuring that each nominee reflects the high standards and vision set forth by the leadership. The invitation is extended after careful consideration of the individual's impact within their field, their contributions to society, and their potential to inspire others. This thoughtful and deliberate approach ensures that the Honorary Chairperson not only embodies the organization's ideals but also serves as a powerful symbol of excellence and commitment to its mission.
