Identity Snapshot

  • English: Taiwanese American Association of Arizona
  • Chinese: 亞歷桑那州
  • Era: Contemporary
  • Geography: Taiwanese American community
  • Core roles: Community organization (TAH directory)

The Taiwanese American Association of Arizona (TAAA) is a regional chapter of the Taiwanese Association of America (全美台灣同鄉會), serving the Taiwanese American community across the state of Arizona. As a TAA chapter, it operates within the national umbrella organization’s network of hometown associations dedicated to community connection, cultural preservation, and civic engagement among Taiwanese Americans in the United States.

Role in the Community

The TAH encyclopedia holds a dedicated directory record for the chapter: Taiwanese American Association of Arizona 亞利桑那州台灣同鄉會 (catalogued 2015-12-30). The chapter is also credited in the corpus record Taiwanese American Heritage Week of Arizona 亞利桑那州台灣同鄉會 (2018-03-16) — civic-recognition activity under the chapter name. Arizona’s Taiwanese associational life also includes a neighboring FAPA presence, FAPA 台灣人公共事務會亞利桑那州分會, and a NATWA chapter in the same TAH directory batch, NATWA 北美洲台灣婦女會亞利桑那分會.

HOLD: Chinese name rendered 亞歷桑那州 on this page vs 亞利桑那州台灣同鄉會 in the TAH work record — two transliterations of “Arizona”, not merged.

Note: the acronym TAAA also belongs to a different org, 台美藝術協會 (Taiwanese American Arts Association) — not this chapter.
