President's Note
Dear TACL Family,
Happy New Year! We hope you had a very merry holiday season with lots of good cheer, fun and laughter.
In 2015, we spent the year celebrating our 30th Anniversary. In 2016, we will embark on a new chapter to DREAM BIG, kicking off the year with our Midterm Conference in Atlanta for TACL Board members over MLK Weekend. If you are a Board member, have you registered already?
TACL's goal is to build a tight-knit Taiwanese American network that can come together with a loud and strong voice. Being that 2016 is Election Year, we will be spearheading a Get-Out-the-Vote ("GOTV") Campaign to make sure our TA voices are heard - are you registered to vote? Be on the lookout for our many GOTV events to come, led by our new Director of Citizenship, Austin Ko.
As always, we want to hear from you, so if you have thoughts, suggestions, comments, etc., feel free to email us at tacl@tacl.org and remember to “Like” us on Facebook.
Best,
Jacqui Wu
TACL National President

Making the Taiwanese Voice Heard
One of TACL's goals is to ensure that Taiwanese Americans and all Americans have full access to the democratic process. For the 2016 election year, our new Director of Citizenship, Austin Ko, will be dedicated to getting out the vote in the community so our TA voice can be heard. Stay tuned for more updates we have on our 2016 Get-Out-the-Vote Campaign. For starters, here is our blog on TA voting and why it is so critical.
