President's Updates
Dear TACL Member:
Welcome to TACL 2014-2015! We have a new Board that is ready to serve you – our Taiwanese American community – as we continue to strengthen and connect our community across the nation. This will be an exciting year as we gear up to celebrate TACL’s 30th Anniversary.
First though, a big thank you to the previous Board members for their tireless dedication this past year; we couldn’t have done it without them: Andy Ni, Barry Huang, Bob Wu, Kelly Shih and Teddy Liaw. Check out Bob's 5 lessons that he learned as President here: Bob's Farewell Letter.
Now, let’s take a look at some of the initiatives this year and remember our 2015 motto: Passion, Camaraderie and FUN!
Best,
Jacqui Wu
TACL National President

Social Media Contest
As we move into Fall, change is in the air. Some people are going back to school, others are possibly moving into new roles. Either way, there’s a lot going on with the holiday season ahead. Follow TACL and your local TAP chapters to see what’s going in the Taiwanese American community. We’ll be posting what we find and if you think there’s something we should be sharing, tweet us!
Keep your eyes out on the TACL Facebook Page, twitter (@taclorg) and instagram (@taclorg). We’ll be announcing a social media contest soon, so stay tuned for some hashtagging fun! |
