The Gunwi-gun Volunteer Center in Daegu is moving to build a civilian-led volunteering framework, following the inauguration of its first private-sector board chair.

Gunwi-gun held an inauguration ceremony for Chang Won-su, the center's inaugural civilian board chair, on Monday at a shared meeting room in the Gunwi Lifestyle and Culture Center.

Gunwi-gun Mayor Kim Jin-yeol and executives from local volunteer organizations attended the ceremony to congratulate the new chair and reaffirm their commitment to advancing volunteerism in the region.

The appointment is intended to strengthen the center's expertise and autonomy while promoting civilian-led volunteer activities and spreading a culture of community sharing.

"Volunteering is a precious value that warmly connects neighbors and communities," Chang said in the inaugural address. "As the first civilian board chair, I will take this responsibility seriously and lead volunteer activities driven by the private sector."

Mayor Kim expressed gratitude to volunteers who quietly practice sharing and service, and said he hopes the center will expand its role as a hub of sharing and solidarity under the new chair's leadership.
