                                 ______
                                 

                       HON. MADELEINE Z. BORDALLO

                                of guam

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, April 27, 2010

  Ms. BORDALLO. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Mr. Jack Chan 
for his leadership and advocacy in support of minority small business 
owners. Mr. Chan is the Vice President of Kwong Hwa Trading Co. and is 
the U.S. Small Business Administration's ``Minority Champion of the 
Year'' for 2010.
  Jack was born in Hong Kong in 1972 to Ping Chan and King Ng. He 
attended elementary school in Hong Kong before relocating with his 
parents and five siblings to Guam in 1985. He attended John F. Kennedy 
High School and completed a one year Tourism Vocational Program at Guam 
Community College during his final year of high school. Jack continued 
his educational pursuits at the University of Guam, graduating with a 
Bachelor's degree in Business Administration in Marketing in 1997 while 
helping to maintain his family's business and working at a local tour 
agency.
  Jack serves as Vice President of Kwong Hwa Trading, and under his 
leadership, the company continues to work closely with other 
businesses, suppliers and local government agencies and non-profit 
organizations to support the local community.
  Jack's hard work, dedication and industrious nature have earned him 
the respect of business leaders in our community and in the western 
Pacific region. His efforts on the Board of Directors of the Chinese 
Chamber of Commerce of Guam (CCCG) have made a difference in the 
participation of other minority business owners and associates as CCCG 
members. A CCCG Member since the organization's inception, Jack is 
actively involved in its annual events and activities. Jack's 
participation in CCCG has helped to raise support and awareness for 
local organizations such as the Big Brothers and Big Sisters Club of 
Guam and the American Red Cross Guam Chapter.
  It is on the occasion of his recognition by the U.S. Small Business 
Administration as Minority Champion of the Year for 2010, that I join 
the people of Guam to acknowledge his service and outstanding 
leadership in our community.
