6. Treasurer 2 = Salai David Lin (Asho)
7. Auditor 1 = Myo Chit Aye (Matu)

Apart from the elected EC members, one each from every Chin Organization is expected to present in the Organizing Committee which will, for the first time, sit to procede the preparation for celebration on 17th January at ACR meeting hall. It is hope that the on going process of the preparation be up dated at chinnationalday61. blogspot. com.

Chin National Day is not Chin State Day, it is National Day and celebrated even before the State was form and approved in the constitution. Therefore the celebration would aim to trace back the origin of Chin and Chin National Day at the one hand and to explore the beauties of different cultures and customs sub-ethnics practise. If the unity of all Chin sub-ethnics is achieved, the celebration would be considered successful. Every Chin national has a right to participate and has a responsibility to make it successful. We consider it as a National Duty to preserve it. Remember us in your prayer.
