Yeongtong-gu Maetan 1-dong Establishes Resident Welfare Council

Maetan 1-dong in Yeongtong-gu established a Resident Welfare Council on the 3rd, holding a launch and appointment ceremony to promote resident welfare improvement through customized welfare services via public-private cooperation.

The council was formed in accordance with the Suwon City Community Welfare Council Composition and Operation Ordinance and Maetan 1-dong's Resident Welfare Council Composition and Operation Plan, with a total of 11 council members. The members are appointed by the dong chief, with Chairperson Shim Sang-min (head of Maeyeoul Volunteer Group) and Vice Chairperson Park Mi-ae (volunteer) elected from among the members.

The composition of Maetan 1-dong's Welfare Council prioritized volunteers and individuals involved in welfare facilities who are knowledgeable about local community conditions and dedicated to social welfare advancement. Going forward, anyone with expertise and experience in social welfare can join at any time.

The Maetan 1-dong Resident Welfare Council, thus formed, will perform necessary roles for resident welfare improvement, including supporting case management through public-private welfare network establishment, discovering vulnerable groups in welfare blind spots, connecting welfare demand and supply, and promoting collaborative projects for community welfare advancement.

Jang Gil-hee (54, female), who was appointed to the Maetan 1-dong Resident Welfare Council, expressed her aspirations, stating, "Although I run a private business and faced time constraints in volunteering, with the welfare council's support, I can now seize the opportunity to do good work for the underprivileged in our dong whenever I have spare time and reconnect with the spirit of volunteering."
