In her inaugural speech, President An Mi-young said, “Harmony and communication are important to strengthen the unity among members,” adding, “I will faithfully fulfill my role as a female leader and closely look after low-income and marginalized neighbors.”

Instead of congratulatory flower wreaths at the inauguration, she received 1,000 kg of rice (worth about 3 million KRW) as part of the Sinan rice consumption campaign and donated it to the Sinan County Welfare Foundation.

On the same day, former President Jeon Jin-ja, who served as president for four years during the 9th and 10th terms, received a plaque of appreciation for her dedication and contributions.

County Governor Park Woo-ryang said, “I thank former President Jeon Jin-ja for her efforts in developing women’s organizations so far, and congratulate newly appointed President An Mi-young,” adding, “We look forward to the future activities of the Women’s Association Council to make Sinan a place where hope springs forth.”

Meanwhile, the Sinan-gun Women’s Association Council was founded in April 2005 and currently has 900 members playing a pivotal role in promoting women’s rights, community service, and realizing a gender-equal society.
