How was the HKOTSSA formed and who are the members?

The HKOTSSA was formed by the past recipients of the Outstanding Service Awards which held the first presentation in 1991. All of the awardees possess proven leadership and organizational ability, and have demonstrated records in providing services to their fellow students, schools or the community on a continuous basis. They come from different educational institutions with diverse backgrounds, abilities and knowledge. By assembling all these outstanding future pillars with their expertises, it will undoubtedly foster a stronger motivation and commitment to serve and contribute to the community. With the generous support by the Hong Kong Student Service Association (HKSSA) and the donor of the Award, the HKOTSSA was established on July 2, 1994. Currently, over 200 students have been awarded and more than 90 awardees have become the members of the Association.
