Driving Impact On and Off the Green

I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to everyone who joined us for our recent golf tournament—our generous sponsors especially LECS Electrical (19^th Hole Sponsor), Vu Law Firm (Beverage Cart Sponsor), and Hilong USA (Putting Contest Sponsor). We also want to thank our enthusiastic participants and dedicated volunteers. It was a day filled with great energy, friendly competition, and meaningful connections. Most importantly, the proceeds from the tournament benefit the Asian Chamber Foundation, which supports educational programs aimed at developing the next generation of business leaders in our region.

Your participation helps ensure that this mission continues to thrive. We are also incredibly grateful to the Houston Korean Chamber of Commerce (HKCC) for their continued partnership. Special thanks to Ethan Lee and the HKCC leadership team, as well as our Golf Committee Chairs Victor Lee and Daniel Yoo for their dedicated efforts and support.

Now, we’re gearing up to celebrate Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) Heritage Month, and I’m excited to invite you to our Annual AANHPI Heritage Month Luncheon on Friday, May 2, 2025, from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM at Ocean Palace Restaurant. This year’s luncheon is especially meaningful as we mark the 35th anniversary of the Asian Chamber of Commerce—a moment to honor our collective accomplishments and look forward to what’s ahead. I am very excited to announce our keynote speaker is Hudson Yang, the child actor from Fresh off the Boat, and a budding chef on his recent food show “Order Up with Hudson Yang” on Asian Food Network!

Last but certainly not least, we’ve officially launched recruitment for our 2025 Texas-Asia Delegation—an exciting opportunity to connect Texas businesses with Asia’s dynamic supply chain networks. In addition to attending the largest supply chain-focused event, the China International Supply Chain Expo (CISCE) in Beijing, the delegation will also tour key industrial and high-tech cities across the region. For the first time, we’re bringing together local economic development corporations and chambers from across Texas to join us. Space is limited and filling quickly—don’t miss your chance to be part of this transformative experience!

Thank you for being part of our Chamber family. We look forward to celebrating with you this May

Warm regards,

Fan Chen

Chair, Asian Chamber of Commerce

Recognizing AANHPI Month: Honoring the Legacy and Impact of Asian-Owned Businesses

Each May, Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) Heritage Month offers a meaningful opportunity to reflect on the powerful contributions of our communities, especially the vital role Asian-owned businesses play in shaping Houston’s economy and culture.

From small family-owned shops to major corporations, Asian entrepreneurs have long been drivers of innovation, job creation, and community growth. Their stories are woven into the fabric of our city, grounded in resilience, determination, and a deep commitment to giving back.

For the Asian Chamber of Commerce, AANHPI Month is more than a celebration — it's a call to action. It’s a chance to amplify the voices of Asian business owners, recognize their impact, and continue advocating for equitable opportunities in economic development, contracting, and policy.

As we honor our heritage and history, we also look ahead, committed to empowering future generations of Asian entrepreneurs through mentorship, education, and collaboration. Let’s celebrate AANHPI Month by supporting local Asian-owned businesses and championing their continued success. Together, we build a stronger, more inclusive Houston.
