The Presentation Ceremony had the honour to invite Ms Cally Kwong JP, Hong Kong Deputy to the National People’s Congress, as our Guest of Honour.

The DSA Programme was originally launched in the United States in 1950 and has become a well recognized international award. It is the “Oscar” of the sales industry that brings public recognition to outstanding sales personnel. Organized by the Sales and Marketing Executives Club of The Hong Kong Management Association (HKMA), in conjunction with Sales and Marketing Executives International of New York (SMEI), the DSA was launched in 1968 to give due recognition to successful salespersons for their achievements and to enhance the awareness of the sales profession in Hong Kong and regionally.
