Celebrating Growth, the Rotary Way
Every year, Rotary Club of Suntec City recognizes a Rotarian for exceptional service to the Club through the Rotarian of the Year Award. For Year 2025-26, the recognition goes to Rotarian is Eric Chang-Chien, announced by President Ruby Chong. His leadership as Club Administration Chair and Organizing Chair of the 27th Installation represents a journey of growth and commitment to Rotary's values.
Rotarian Eric Chang-Chien served as Club Administration Chair for 2025-26, a year themed "Unite for Good", and continues in that role for 2026-27, as the Club steps into "Create Lasting Impact". He also took on the responsibility of Organizing Chair for the Club's 27th Installation Event itself, a role that made the recognition feel especially full-circle. His path is a reminder of what Rotary is all about: it began with service to the Club, continued through learning at district and international platforms, and grew into a deeper commitment to giving back, a journey supported by mentors, guided by generations of Club Past Presidents and seniors, and inspired by fellow Rotarians.
Accepting the award, Eric shared his heartfelt thanks to Past District Governor Joanne Kam, Assistant Governor Rana Bhattacharjee, President Ruby Chong, all our Club's Past Presidents over the years, and every member of the Club for their leadership, guidance, and encouragement along the way.
The trophy itself carries special meaning: it was donated to our Club by our late Charter President, Wong Kum Sek, and this year, we were honoured to have his daughter, Rotarian Wong Wye Leng, also a member of our Club, join us on stage to witness the presentation, representing her late father and quietly carrying his legacy forward. Congratulations, Eric, and here's to every Rotarian who continues to "Create Lasting Impact" for the coming years.
