This past Thursday August 22nd, the Asian American community including representatives from the Chinese, Taiwanese, Korean and Japanese communities had the great honor of hosting Joe Reagan, President & CEO of the St. Louis Regional Chamber; Steve Johnson, Executive Vice President - Economic Development & Marketing Strategy of the St. Louis Regional Chamber; and Betsy Cohen, Director of the St. Louis Mosaic Project Director in a banquet lunch at Mandarin House.
The luncheon was organized (by Francis Yueh of the St. Louis Chinese American) in an effort to achieve greater coordination between the St. Louis Regional Chamber and the Mosaic Project with the Asian American community to promote investments, trade and immigration from Asia. In addition to Joe Reagan, Steve Johnson, and Betsy Cohen, other attendees at the luncheon were Prof. Hung Gay Fung, UMSL, Midwest Hub Commissioner; Jason Tang, Managing Director, GBI Sourcing Ltd.; George Wu, attorney, Husch Blackwell LLP; Robin Hattori, Assistant Director, Gephardt Institute for Public Service, WU; Anna Lum & Rich O'Donnell, the HEARding Cats Collective; Jing Liu, MBA, Principal, CPA, J. Liu & Company CPA LLC; Tina Hsieh, Vice President, Carrollton Bank; Samson Li, Executive Director, Global Sales, Novus International Inc.; Kaysong Lee, President, Korean American Association; Victoria Wang (& Helen Li), Branch Manager / Vice President of Mortgage Lending, Guaranteed Rate; Susan Xu, Assistant Controller at Willert Home Products, Inc.; Chin Zhang, General Manager, Mandarin House; Vicky Tong, Editor, St. Louis Chinese American News; May Yueh, Director, St. Louis Chinese American News; Sandy Tsai, publisher, St. Louis Chinese American News; May Tsai, Baily Inc.; Jimmy Chu, St. Louis County Restaurant Commissioner and Francis Yueh, St. Louis County Commissioner, Missouri Botanical Garden.
All attendees could appreciate that leveraging the myriad connections of the Asian communities in St. Louis would significantly advance the objectives of both the Regional Chamber and the Mosaic Project.
As part of this effort, George Wu, an attorney with Husch Blackwell, was invited by Joe Reagan to join as a member of the St. Louis Regional Chamber representing the interests and aspirations of the Asian American communities. George and other prominent members of the Asian American communities, including Francis Yueh and May Wu, are also Ambassadors for the Mosaic Project seeking to make St. Louis a more welcoming region for immigrants.
