生命中榮耀之一天

休斯敦市議會今晨舉行會議，全體議員通過任命，由我出任休斯敦實業觀光文化發展機構之董事會董事，主管全市十二個重要產業，其中包括希爾頓飯店及布朗會議中心。

我在向市議會之就職致詞中表示，我代表華亞裔國際社區向市長及各位議員表示將竭盡全力來達成市府之任務，不過我已經等了二十二年了。

市長在致詞中讃揚新任董事是各行業中之領袖，他們一定能在此機構中展現長才為市民服務，增加和推動大小型之各項會議，同時管理瓊斯劇院及其他重要表演塲地，推動來自世界各地之大型文藝體育交流。

這項光榮之任務是我首次出任公職，也是代表了市長對華亞裔之重視，過去二十二年來，國際區及國際貿易中心一直在致力於推動國際區之繁榮及和世界之經貿關係。

今天的市議會來了些好友們之祝賀，我深感榮幸和感恩，這是我生命中感到無比榮耀之一天。

A Glorious Day In My Life

This morning at City Hall, Houston Mayor John Whitmire and the City Council approved my appointment as a board member of the Houston First Corporation.
In my speech in front of the council, I joked and that, "I have been waiting for the last twenty-two years for this moment. I just want to represent the Asian and International community with our commitment to fulfilling the city‘s mission."
Mayor Whitmire praised the new board members as "positive leaders in their respective fields." The mayor additionally said that, "Each of the new appointees has a long history of community involvement and philanthropic initiatives and they all want the best for the city."
Houston First Corporation is the official destination marketing organization for the country‘s fourth largest city. It works to create value and enhance economic prosperity by promoting the Houston region.
When I became a board member, I felt deeply honored and very grateful. This is a glorious day in my life.
