The Taiwanese Junior Chamber of Commerce of New York (TJCCNY) celebrated its fifth anniversary with a gala in Flushing, New York, on December 10, 2022. Approximately 150 people engaged in business and special guests from the local community attended the gathering.
VIP guests included Yu-Ching Pai, president of the Taiwanese Chamber of Commerce of New York; Pei-Ying Chen, deputy director of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in New York; Li-Xuan Huang, director of the Overseas Community Affairs; Wei Ding, director of the Investment and Trade Office; and Xiuchun Cai, director of Taiwan External Trade Development Council. The musicians of the New Asia Chamber Music Society (NACMS) performed at the gala.
According to Alex Wang, president of TJCCNY, the organization’s mission is to create a platform for young industrialists and professionals between the ages of 20 and 40 to communicate with each other. The organization aims to help overseas Asians in America to network, share resources, and further their careers. Many of the organization’s current members are active in fields such as finance, arts, performing arts, and science and technology. TJCCNY is also open to non-Taiwanese youths who are interested in joining.
In 2022, TJCCNY hosted the annual Taiwan Day at Citi Field and co-hosted a benefit concert along with The Garden of Hope Foundation and Taiwan Fund for Children and Families. TJCCNY has also arranged for musicians from Taiwan to perform the U.S. national anthem alongside NACMS musicians at Madison Square Garden to open for the New York Knicks. In addition, the organization hosted two badminton championships, as well as the fourth annual Mentoring Learning Lab workshop, and other activities across various industries.
