80-20 EF BOD result is in


Thanks to all the donors of SELF (Self-Empowerment Long-term Fund) who recently voted in the recent 80-20 Educational Foundation Board of Donors election.  Now that all votes are in and tallied, we are very excited to announce our new members of the Board. 

  • Ved Chaudhary 
  • Zhi-Long Chen 
  • Larry Ho 
  • Fan Jiao 
  • Max Kiang 
  • Tony Li
  • Manlan Liu
  • Yiming Lou 
  • Andrew Mak 
  • Yuko Nakanishi 
  • William Pak 
  • Kathleen To 
  • HP Wang 
  • Mark Xu 
  • Jing-Li Yu 

We are especially pleased to report that Larry Ho, one of the 6 founders of 80/20, had the highest % of votes. Also, all non-Chinese American candidates were elected to the Board even though more than 90% of the voters were Chinese American. William Pak, a Korean American, received the second highest percentage of votes.  Finally, all past and present Board members of 80/20 received a very high percentage of votes, which seems to reflect the general appreciation of 80/20's contribution to the Asian American community.

Below are the voting results.  Please note that the weighted percentages are in red.
