[Imsil=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Park Nosik] The activities of the resident-centered community, the Residents' Autonomy Council of Imsil-gun, Jeonbuk, are expected to become more active thanks to the stabilization of COVID-19.

The county recently held a regular general meeting of the town and township Residents' Autonomy Councils and announced on the 20th that Jo Gihyeon, the chairman of the Residents' Autonomy Committee, was newly appointed as the new chairman.

The regular meeting held in the county office conference room was attended by 12 chairpersons of the town and township Residents' Autonomy Committees, where the new chairman and vice chairman of the Residents' Autonomy Council, who will lead the council for the next two years, were elected.

They also shared various opinions on the development direction of this year's Residents' Autonomy projects.

For the executives, Jo Gihyeon, chairman of the Residents' Autonomy Committee of Imsil-eup, was elected as the chairman of the Residents' Autonomy Council, and Lee Seonggyu, chairman of the Residents' Autonomy Committee of Gangjin-myeon, was elected as the vice chairman, both to serve until next year.

Jo Gihyeon, the new chairman of the Residents' Autonomy Council, said, "Although I have many shortcomings, I am grateful for being entrusted with the important role of chairman. During my term, I will do my best as chairman with a sense of responsibility to create a residents' autonomy that solves community problems on its own."

The county expects that, as COVID-19 stabilizes, the residents' autonomy council, a resident community, will have more diverse and active citizen-centered activities.

Accordingly, the county plans to actively support the development of residents' autonomy through customized education to strengthen the capabilities of Residents' Autonomy Committee members and support for distinctive independent projects.

A county official said, "This year, we expect to carry out various and active residents' autonomy activities that have been difficult to operate so far," adding, "We hope that the newly formed Residents' Autonomy Council activities will help citizens, exhausted by COVID-19, return to their daily lives and establish themselves as a representative residents' autonomy community."
