In the subsequent meeting, public district leaders were elected by region, and activity plans by district were discussed. Attendees gathered various opinions, discussing detailed aspects such as education directions and meeting frequency by district, as well as overall topics including the development of district institutions’ projects and case management projects.

Kim Kyung-ho, Mayor of Gwangjin-gu, said, “I would like to express my gratitude to the public and private practitioners who work hard in the social welfare field to discover and support neighbors in need in the community,” adding, “I hope that through this education and meeting, a solid cooperative system between public and private sectors will be established in the region, further activating integrated case management in Gwangjin-gu.”
