FOREWORD BY THE

FOUNDATION

It gives me great pleasure to launch Race for Opportunity: Diversity List, 2016 Race for Opportunity: Diversity List is a list of Hong Kong’s most talented ethnic minorities, developed by The Zubin Foundation, in partnership with Spencer Stuart Hong Kong. These 16 impressive individuals are qualified to serve on Hong Kong’s government advisory bodies. Each one of these individuals has significant experience in their line of work and has demonstrated a commitment to Hong Kong. Each of them has a unique perspective and set of skills and our hope at The Zubin Foundation is that they will be considered for appointments to government advisory bodies.

Although Race for Opportunity: Diversity List was developed specifically with Hong Kong SAR government advisory bodies in mind, it will be of use to any private company or non-profit organisation that values diversity and seeks talented Hong Kong people to lead on their boards.

What has been most satisfying to me is that, in addition to identifying talented individuals for representation on leadership committees, we have also identified role models for our youth. With one third of ethnic minority children living in poverty and a high percentage of then ending up in elementary work, what has been lacking in Hong Kong’s strategy to tackle these issues is both inclusion of the ethnic minority voice and inspiration that comes when our youth can aspire to succeed. Race for Opportunity: Diversity List provides a tangible way for us to address both inclusion and inspiration.

This project would not have been possible without the contribution of Town House, our sponsor, and our contributors; Caravel Group, Ovolo Hotels and The India Association Hong Kong. Thank you to our project partner Spencer Stuart, Hong Kong and a special thank you to Mrs Carrie Lam, Chief Secretary of the Hong Kong SAR Government, for receiving Race for Opportunity: Diversity List 2016 on behalf of the various ethnic minorities of Hong Kong.

The Zubin Foundation is extremely grateful to all 62 individuals who nominated themselves. Thank you for caring enough about Hong Kong and raising your hand to be considered. To those selected on our Special Mention List, you have done remarkable work and we thank you for your contribution to Hong Kong.

To those selected on Race for Opportunity: Diversity List 2016, many congratulations, it is you who we celebrate today. We look to you to engage fully in the betterment of Hong Kong, to find ways of assisting ethnic minority youth and for making your voices heard in this city that we call home.

FOREWORD BY SPENCER STUART

On behalf of my firm Spencer Stuart, I wanted to thank The Zubin Foundation for inviting us to partner in this worthy cause, and I hereby extend my warmest congratulations to the candidates on the Race for Opportunity: Diversity List.

Along with the base criteria set for the selection of the Race for Opportunity: Diversity List which include: significant experience in the candidate’s professions, a strong commitment to serving Hong Kong, and the endeavour to make time and effort if they are appointed on government committees, we also evaluated them based on the key attributes we use for board candidates. These include: an intellectual approach, independent-mindedness, integrity, interpersonal skills, and an inclination to engage.

The primary goal of Race for Opportunity: Diversity List was for the HKSAR government committees. It has been a humbling experience to study the self-nomination forms and conduct the interviews, during which we met this group of hardworking, talented, dedicated and passionate people who regard Hong Kong as home, many of whom have endured adversity as minorities but persevered, who have gone on to make significant contributions to the professions and communities they serve in. This is a group of people who exemplify as inspirations and role models, not only to the ethnic minorities groups they represent, but also the general population of Hong Kong. As such, we firmly believe the list can be hugely beneficial for non-profit and businesses alike, to the wide range of individuals, institutions and organisations for which a better and bright future of Hong Kong is a shared goal.

We at Spencer Stuart hold this close to heart, in our mission and daily practice, to help the public, private and non-profit sectors in identifying and nurturing the best of leaders and talents, across the diverse communities in Hong Kong. This partnership we have with the Zubin Foundation is an example of that, and we are grateful for the support this initiative has received. We hope the message from this initiative can be more widely heard and celebrated. Once again, many congratulations to the candidates of the Race for Opportunity: Diversity List, and thank you for the examples you have set, and the commitment you are making to the communities in Hong Kong.

METHODOLOGY INTRODUCTION

Many of Hong Kong’s ethnic minorities are well educated professionals in their field of work. Many of them have been calling Hong Kong home for generations and self-define as a “Hong Kong person”. Hong Kong’s ethnic minorities have played a significant role in Hong Kong’s history in the founding of HSBC, the establishment of the Star Ferry, The University of Hong Kong and the Ruttonjee Hospital, to name but a few examples. Representatives from ethnic minority communities are leaders in business, finance, trade, academia and the various professions in Hong Kong – and yet, their representation in the Hong Kong SAR government (HKSARG) advisory bodies is low.

In April 2015, the Zubin Foundation looked at the ethnic composition of the members of 100 government advisory bodies composed of committees, boards, panels and councils. There were 1,454 appointees on these advisory bodies and some of them, at the time, were serving in more than one advisory body. Only 1.9% of these positions were held by ethnic minorities, of which 79% were “White”. We concluded that clearly more work was needed to improve the representation of ethnic minorities in Hong Kongparticularly those from the Indian, Pakistani, Nepalese, Filipino, Thai and Indonesian communities. This was the beginning of the Race for Opportunity: Diversity List

Furthermore, ”The Status of Ethnic Minorities in Hong Kong, 1997 to 2014”¹, produced in September 2015 by The Zubin Foundation with The Centre for Comparative and Public Law, found that the status of ethnic minorities was generally poor. For some ethnicities in particular, the high secondary school dropout rate, the significantly high percentage who end up in elementary positions, and the rising crime rate is alarming. Clearly the great intentions by the government and many non-profit organisations to assist ethnic minorities have not yet produced positive results.

Common sense and research tells us that in order to improve the lives of ethnic minorities, it is important to substantively engage them in decisions that affect them. It is also impor tant to give the youth in these communities’ role models to aspire to. Race for Opportunity: Diversity List does exactly this - it is a list of ethnic minorities who can help navigate Hong Kong’s future on various government committees and it is also a list of role models.

In addition to Race for Opportunity: Diversity List, this year we have also produced a Special Mention List of individuals who did not meet the criteria to be included in the Race for Opportunity: Diversity List but who are nevertheless outstanding in their particular field. This list is a useful resource for organisations and government advisory bodies that want to understand a specific area in greater depth.

NEXT STEPS

Race for Opportunity: Diversity List 2016 started as an initiative of The Zubin Foundation and quickly gained the support of various ethnic minorities. This has demonstrated the desire of Hong Kong’s minorities to play their part in making Hong Kong stronger and better.

At The Zubin Foundation, our commitment remains to strengthen the voice of ethnic minorities in Hong Kong with the objective of developing racial inclusion. We are delighted to announce that Race for Opportunity: Diversity List 2017 will begin to solicit nominations from 1 September 2016 until 31 December 2016. We hope that you will help us spread the word.

In line with the need to create a Hong Kong that is inclusive to different races, we believe that the term “ethnic minority” may be in need of reform. It appears from our work at The Zubin Foundation that ethnic minorities themselves do not associate with this term. As such, in 2016/2017 our aim is to engage in a community-wide project of non-Chinese in Hong Kong, including our youth, on the subject of identity. We are keen to understand how such individuals self-define and will take our findings to government and policy makers for review and deliberation.

Furthermore, in 2017 we will begin our work on ethnic minority women and girls. The education of ethnic minority girls is shockingly low compared to their Hong Kong Chinese counterparts and domestic violence amongst our women is significantly high. There is clearly much work that needs to be done in these communities to both educate and empower women and girls. We are in the process of developing our strategy to best address these issues.

The work of The Zubin Foundation is made possible by its donors. If you believe in our work, we ask you to contribute by making a donation.

Thank you for your support.
