The meeting included administrative reports, the 2025 activity plan, the selection of outstanding members, and the election of new presidents and committee members. A total of 25 members participated both in-person and online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To ensure a smooth electoral process, an election task force was established a month prior under the guidance of Head Priest Venerable Yung Han to conduct workshops and set up an electronic system. Following an explanation of the voting procedures by Chapter Vice President Hon-Chung Fung, members cast their votes. The ballot counting and results were displayed in real-time on a large screen, achieving a paperless, eco-friendly process that integrated technology into organizational management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the meeting, Chun-Yong Li was honored as the Outstanding Member of the Year. The election resulted in the appointment of Tu-Hao Chen as the new President, Chun-Yong Li as Vice President, and five committee members: Yin-Hui Zhan, Zhi-Long Zheng, Xiao-Rong Guo, Cui-Fang Xie, and Min-Hui Li.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chapter President Ke-Ying Wang praised outgoing President Ying-Xue Liu for her outstanding leadership in fulfilling the year&#8217;s various tasks and activities. President Liu expressed her gratitude to the committee members for their dedication, gifting them the book <em>The One Who Circulates Love<\/em>, and congratulated the newly elected officers, encouraging them to continue serving the public following the BLIA creeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Subchapter&#8217;s advising monastic, Venerable Miao Wei, encouraged members with the concept of &#8220;Coexistence and Co-prosperity.&#8221; She offered a clever interpretation of the Chinese title for President (<em>Huizhang<\/em>), noting that one must first &#8220;learn&#8221; (<em>hui<\/em>) and practice diligently before they can &#8220;grow&#8221; (<em>zhang<\/em>). She encouraged everyone to accumulate experience through taking on responsibilities and to find growth through that experience. The event concluded successfully with the singing of the BLIA theme song, a group photo, and a fellowship session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\"
