[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] The Jinju City Council in Gyeongnam held an orientation for the 9th-term council members on the 29th in the council's second-floor meeting room.
This orientation was organized to provide the 9th-term Jinju City Council members with comprehensive information about the council to facilitate smooth legislative activities.

The event began with introductions to the secretariat staff, followed by the distribution of council member badges and identification cards. It proceeded with guidance on the council’s basic status, upcoming legislative schedules, the roles and duties of council members, asset registration, prohibition of concurrent positions, and other laws and systems related to local council operations.
