New York, NY \u2014<\/strong>\u00a0Committee of 100, a nonprofit U.S. leadership organization of prominent Chinese Americans, today announced the hiring of Paul Cheung as its next President, effective May 31, 2025. The organization also announced that Cindy Tsai, who has served as Interim President during the transition, will assume the role of Executive Vice President.<\/p>\n

Paul brings more than 25 years of expertise in media, technology innovation, philanthropy and nonprofit leadership to his work. He has advised numerous organizations including Lighthouse Reports, Hacks\/Hackers, Online News Association, and Asian American Journalists Association (AAJA) on issues ranging from executive leadership, inclusive storytelling, and innovation with AI. Throughout his career, Paul had championed diversity in media and leveraged technology to amplify underrepresented voices across multiple platforms and organizations. Most recently, Paul served as the CEO for the Center for Public Integrity, a nonpartisan, nonprofit news organization that spotlights the corrosive effects of inequality.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are thrilled to welcome Paul as the new President of Committee of 100. His dynamic leadership and deep passion for our dual mission will be instrumental as we grow and continue serving both the Chinese American community and the broader public,\u201d said Gary Locke, Committee of 100 Chair. \u201cWith Paul at the helm, we are confident in Committee of 100\u2019s ability to embrace its unique role, navigate evolving global dynamics, and strengthen our impact and presence in American society.\u201d<\/p>\n

Paul\u2019s career includes key positions at The Knight Foundation, NBC News, The Associated Press, The Miami Herald, and The Wall Street Journal. In these roles, Paul has led initiatives in technology innovation, business growth, and inclusive storytelling. A NYU graduate with a Columbia University Sulzberger Fellowship, Paul serves on the Board of The Literacy Lab and is a member of The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists\u2019 communications committee. Paul\u2019s work as a Chinese immigrant shapes his advocacy for diverse voices and cross-cultural understanding in media.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs an immigrant to America, I\u2019ve experienced firsthand both the opportunities and challenges that shape the Chinese American journey. I\u2019m honored to lead Committee of 100, an organization that has spent 35 years elevating Chinese American voices and building bridges between the U.S. and Greater China,\u201d said Paul Cheung.\u00a0 \u201cLooking ahead, we will focus on fighting discrimination, furthering our thought leadership and creating meaningful dialogue. By tapping into our members\u2019 expertise and strengthening our partnerships, we will amplify the contributions of Chinese Americans while fostering better understanding of our community. I\u2019m excited to work with our exceptional members and staff to turn these aspirations into reality.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cindy Tsai, who has served as Interim President since June 2023, and General Counsel since joining the organization in September 2021, will now transition to the role of Executive Vice President. During her interim leadership, Cindy energized Committee of 100\u2019s research and data initiatives, delivering new tools and insights that sharpened the organization\u2019s impact. She transformed the annual State of Chinese Americans survey to reveal a deeper, more nuanced understanding of the Chinese American community\u2014challenging outdated notions that the AAPI community is monolithic.<\/p>\n

To help advance AAPI education, Cindy spearheaded the partnership with the Asian American Education Project to create lesson plans highlighting Chinese American contributions. In 2024, Cindy also led the team to co-launch with TAAF a community-based anti-Asian hate tracking program in New York City, reaching nearly 5,000 people through over three dozen sessions. That same year, Committee of 100 marked another milestone with the successful return of its Greater China Conference & Gala after a four-year hiatus.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am deeply grateful for the opportunity to lead Committee of 100 over the past two years. It has been an incredibly fulfilling experience to help advance our mission, strengthen our community, and build new pathways for impact,\u201d said Cindy Tsai, Interim President, Committee of 100. \u201cI look forward to working alongside Paul to continue driving our mission forward with impact, innovation and purpose.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gary, Paul and Cindy will all be in Los Angeles for Committee of 100\u2019s Annual Conference & Gala on April 25 and 26.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
