TFTA Members Meeting & The 7th Election of TFTA Directors and Supervisors

Congratulations! Chite President Bill Chen Renews His Term of Office as TFTA Chairman

by Tanya Shih, Fastener World Inc.

Taiwan Fastener Trading Association (TFTA) held the members meeting and biennial election of TFTA directors and supervisors at the conference hall of Queen Plaza Hotel in Tainan on Dec. 4^th. The newly elected directors and supervisors in the 7^th term and other 250 TFTA members attended the event. As Chairman Bill Chen was unable to attend the event this time, he authorized the founding president of TFTA James Su and the 6^th chairman Jim C. N. Chen to host the meeting. TFTA is a well-established organization with normal operation. The election began at 3 o’clock in the afternoon and took around 4 hours from voting to ballots counting, under the witness and assistance of directors, supervisors, and consultants.

As former TFTA chairmen and directors are all permanent consultants of the association, they were not included into the candidate list of directors and supervisors. 21 candidates were elected as new TFTA directors and 7 other candidates were elected as supervisors. Theses elected directors and supervisors then nominated and voted Mr. Bill Chen their new chairman. Chen’s tenure began immediately on the same day and will continue until the next chairman election in Dec. 2017. 

During the meeting, heads of each TFTA committee went on stage to report their performance in 2015. The most special part in this meeting was the new “deputy chairman” position added to TFTA, whose main goal is to help the chairman give events and protect the interests of association members. Through the fair voting system, SRC president Jimmy Chang was elected as the new deputy chairman. President Chang was once the president of TFTA Northern Taiwan Chapter and made lots of contributions to the association during his tenure, which did greatly reinforce the union of TFTA members in Central Taiwan. Nobody else can be more suitable than President Chang to take the position of the new deputy chairman and this result implies that President Chang may possibly become the next chairman of TFTA. Fastener World Magazine was also invited to join this grand event. Below is a list of TFTA directors and supervisors in the 7^th term:
