Got something to say to Gyeongnam Province? ... Please share it at the 'Dominhoeui'!

Scheduled for the 30th, apply on the provincial website by the 24th

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Seryeong] Gyeongsangnam-do is recruiting residents to participate in the January Residents' Meeting to be held at 9:30 a.m. on the 30th.

The Residents' Meeting is a forum where residents participate in the executive meeting presided over by the governor, propose policies, and evaluate provincial administration.

This year, Gyeongnam Province plans to hold the Residents' Meeting on the last Monday of every month to listen to the voices of residents from all walks of life and reflect them in policies.

Earlier, Governor Park Wan-su said at the New Year's press briefing on the 10th, "The province exists for the residents, but if public officials who should work for the residents are confined within institutions, there are few opportunities to hear the residents' opinions. Among the four executive meetings held every month, we will invite residents in the last week to hold a Residents' Meeting to listen to their suggestions and proposals."

According to the province on the 18th, 10 to 15 residents will attend the Residents' Meeting each month.

In January and December, the meeting will cover comprehensive fields, and from February to November, one field among current provincial issues will be selected for the meeting.

The January Residents' Meeting will last about one hour and will include policy proposals desired by residents, responses from the governor, and discussions with residents.

Residents who wish to attend can apply by accessing the Gyeongnam Province website via computer or mobile phone from the 18th to the 24th, entering personal information according to the popup guide, and submitting their application.

The province will select the final participants by considering age, activity fields, and other factors in a balanced manner and will notify them individually.

Ha Jong-mok, Director of Planning and Coordination Office, said, "On the 2nd, about 70 residents attended the 2023 Year of the Rabbit New Year's event 'Wishes for Provincial Administration,' where we received 14 policy proposals related to industry, economy, startups, welfare, safety, and more. After the event, we individually notified the proposers of the action plans by mail or email," adding, "We will continue to do our best to implement an administration that communicates and serves the residents."
