Role in the Community

Corpus records place TALA among the movement’s institutional builders in Southern California:

  • Founding president: 黃茂清 (Mao-ching “David” Huang), per TAH Who’s Who #318 (“First President of Taiwanese American Lawyers Association (TALA) 台美律師協會 / 1994”) — see [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/ff318|TAH #318 record]].

  • 台灣會館 (Taiwan Haus) foundation work. 1998: with the 台灣會館籌備會 formed 1998-02-19, “台美律師協會的律師團正著手擬訂基金會的章程” — TALA’s lawyers drafted the charter of the 台灣會館基金會 that would hold the Haus’s title. Source: 黃樹人; English copy: Our Journeys 29 (English) — “lawyers from the Taiwanese American Lawyers Association are currently working on drafting up a charter for the Foundation”.

  • TAHS story-corpus records: 1. TALA 台美律師協會 (2014) and 台美律師協會的活動 (2019) — bibliographic records; full text stays in the vault.

  • Mentioned in a 2021 WHA joint statement: 2021年南加州僑界支持台灣參與世界衛生大會WHA聯合聲明 (2025-11 republication copy: same statement, 2025-11 copy).

  • Community programming. 大洛杉磯台灣會館 July 2018 會訊 records a TALA 座談會 held July 14 alongside the 台美公民協會 scholarship ceremony; the panel speakers were mostly 第二代 — “年輕人願意出來服務社區” — evidence of TALA’s second-generation engagement in the LA community circuit.
