                  RECOGNIZING THE WORK OF JOEY CHIANG

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. MARCUS J. MOLINARO

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 25, 2024

  Mr. MOLINARO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the work of Joey 
Chiang, the current president of the Taiwanese Chambers of Commerce of 
North America (TCCNA). Mr. Chiang works tirelessly to lead the TCCNA in 
their mission to support and connect Taiwanese business members in 
North America.
  TCCNA was established in 1986 as a non-profit organization. TCCNA 
encompasses thirty-five regional chambers primarily composed of 
Taiwanese immigrants. These regional chambers span the U.S. and Canada, 
including major metropolitan areas such as Los Angeles, New York, and 
here in the nation's capital. Under the careful stewardship of past 
presidents, TCCNA has grown into the largest transnational civilian 
organization in North America. Serving as a vital platform for 
communication between Taiwanese businesses in North America and the 
Taiwanese government, TCCNA regularly advocates for the importance of 
bilateral U.S.-Taiwan trade relations. As of June 22, 2024, the TCCNA 
is celebrating its 36th annual meeting of the board of directors. This 
impressive milestone is a testament to the dedication and passion that 
TCCNA members bring to their organization.
  TCCNA would not be what it is today without the guidance of President 
Joey Chiang. Mr. Chiang, a talented developer in his own right, has led 
TCCNA to gather forty new directors under his term. His expert hand 
brought TCCNA great success in their annual Washington DC Door Knocking 
Event, where the organization visited over fifty members of Congress. 
Furthermore, Mr. Chiang is not only a talented and successful leader 
but a generous benefactor. During the COVID-19 pandemic, he personally 
arranged and donated millions of masks from Taiwan to the United States 
for frontline workers. Mr. Chiang's zeal, generosity, and expert 
governance has significantly enhanced economic and cultural exchanges 
between Taiwan and the U.S.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask that my colleagues in the House join me in 
commemorating the dedication of Joey Chiang, a man responsible for 
advancing Taiwanese-American commercial relations.
