Congratulatory Letters

January 19, 2021

Dear Friends:

First and foremost, I hope this note finds you safe and healthy. We are going through an
extremely challenging period, but we will get through it, together.

I congratulate the Global Federation of Chinese Business Women Southern California Chapter’s
30 anniversary. Since its inception, the active business association has grown to more than 70
th
chapters worldwide, with the dedicated mission of empowering Chinese businesswomen,
sharpening their competitiveness in the rapidly changing environment, and fostering cultural and
business exchange.

During the dire public health crisis, the chapter hosted numerous virtual seminars for its
members regarding the many critical COVID-19 relief programs established in the Coronavirus
Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, such as the Paycheck Protection Program. In addition,
the chapter lent a hand to its surrounding community members by donating personal protective
equipment to first responders, senior care centers, the City of Arcadia, and the City of Duarte.

Coming from an Asian American immigrant family, I am extremely proud of my heritage and I
understand the importance of serving and lifting marginalized communities. The deep-rooted
legacy of the Chinese and Taiwanese American communities reminds us of the proud chapters of
our history, and I am hopeful it will motivate future generations of Chinese and Taiwanese
American business leaders to keep striving for excellence and to remain guardians of the
American Dream.

I am humbled to submit this congratulatory note and I thank the Global Federation of Chinese
Business Women Southern California Chapter for hosting this important event.

I wish everyone the very best in the days ahead. Stay healthy and stay well.

Sincerely,

Ted W. Lieu
Member of Congress
