Mei Hung

Community Organizer and Activist

Mei Hung, a native of Taiwan, came to  America  to  pursue  higher  education,  expand  her horizons, and search for the meaning of life. Once in the United States, she was fascinated by American culture, while she also developed a deeper appreciation for her own Chinese cultural heritage.

Since joining the Chinese Culture Connection (CCC) in 1997 as a volunteer, Mei saw a high­ minded  organization  that,  not only gave her the platform. to share  her cultural heritage,  but also an opportunity for her to learn more about the American way. In 1999, Mei succeeded the founder and Executive Director of CCC, Catherine Hsu, and relocated the charitable and outreach organization to Malden. During her tenure, Mei has delivered numerous programs, as well as created many new ones, especially the East Meets West Cultural Dialogue Series. She hopes that using Chinese arts and culture as catalysts will inspire all cultures to come together to connect, understand and appreciate  each other. Hopefully, this spirit will help  unite  humanity into a world of mutual benefit.

S he has been a Member of the Board of Overseers of the Melrose-Wakefield Hospital (formerly known as Hallmark Health System) since 2007.
