Information Technology (IT) is one of the Functional Constituencies (FC) in this year’s Legislative Council election, September 12, 2004. The elected LEGCO member will represent us (the IT Sector) in the LEGCO and serve as a bridge between our Sector and the HKSAR Government. The crucial role of our LEGCO representative needs no further explanation. It is, therefore, important for us to elect the right person – a person who will speak and ‘fight’ for us in the next 4 years.

- Hong Kong Association for Computer Education
