Welcome new NAAAP President Vicky Liu!

Dear Friends and Partners to NAAAP Boston, 
 

I hope you all had a wonderful Holiday, and that you are enjoying what is left of 2016. It has certainly been a monumental year for us, especially as we celebrated our 30-year Anniversary at our Conference and Gala back in October!

 

I would like to share important news: I have nominated, and our Board has approved, the appointment of Victoria (Vicky) Liu as NAAAP Boston President & CEO, effective January 1, 2017. Vicky has been a long-term champion for the NAAAP Boston Leadership Team, and has been a trusted adviser to me throughout my entire term. She has spent the last 2 years working closely with me as the VP of Operations, and due to her dedication and initiative, we managed to expand our leadership and volunteer teams by significant orders of magnitude, and have established documentation and processes for our committees, streamlining our organization as a whole. She will be an exceptional representative of NAAAP Boston for 2017 and beyond.

 

Serving as NAAAP Boston President over the past 2 years was truly an honor, and a responsibility that I did not take lightly. I am grateful for all the new connections I have made with our members, volunteers, sponsors, partners and community networks. Our organization continues to be at the vanguard of Asian-American Leadership and Professional Development across all industries, sectors, and functions, and we have continued to sustain and develop programs and events relevant for our community. I was happy to be a part of it, and have been inspired by so many individuals that I have met along the way. That said, it certainly "took a village", and I am so thankful to the Board for their support and mentorship. I would also be remiss if I did not make mention of my peers on the Senior Leadership Team, who were instrumental in fulfilling the NAAAP Boston vision with me over the past several years.

 

Thank you to the following members of the Executive Team:

 

  • Shi Hui Liu, Chief Financial Officer
  • Joanna Chua, VP of Programming
  • Yan Yu, VP of Relations

 

I'm truly excited to see what Vicky and her new administration will come up with over the next few years, and I know she will do everything she can to elevate the NAAAP Boston brand. In the coming weeks, Vicky will introduce herself and other members of her incoming executive team. In the meantime, feel free to communicate as needed with your current NAAAP Boston contact who will be assisting with the transition.

 

Please join me in congratulating and welcoming Vicky Liu to her new role as President!

 

Sincerely,

 

Jesse Nandhavan

President
