[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] The Hamyang-gun Village Chiefs Association in Gyeongnam was selected as an exemplary organization for COVID-19 response and received a commendation from the Minister of the Ministry of the Interior and Safety.

On the morning of the 6th, Hamyang County Governor Seo Chun-soo invited five members including Jeong Byeong-cheol, president of the Village Chiefs Association, Vice Presidents Shin Jung-heon and Park Jeong-young, Auditor Ra Sang-mok, and Secretary General Yeom Sang-an to the governor’s office to present the Ministry of the Interior and Safety Minister’s commendation for ‘COVID-19 Response Merit’ and expressed gratitude for their efforts.

The Village Chiefs Association, with a strong sense of duty and volunteer spirit, has been cooperating in urgent county administration tasks such as free mask distribution and encouraging receipt of disaster relief funds, with all 259 village chiefs taking the lead in responding to the national disaster situation caused by COVID-19.

Additionally, they were recognized for their sincere role as a bridge between the administration and residents by participating in social distancing campaigns, inspecting disinfection of village community facilities such as village halls and senior centers, and making efforts on the front lines to promote COVID-19 prevention guidelines and raise safety awareness to protect residents’ safety.

Governor Seo said, “It is regrettable that due to the COVID-19 situation, we cannot hold a celebration inviting all village chiefs,” and added, “I sincerely thank the village chiefs for their hard work so far and ask for their active cooperation so that the residents can return to their daily lives as soon as possible.”
