Role in the Community
-
The corpus holds a dedicated chapter record: TAP 台美菁英協會紐約分會 (published 2014-10-12), filed among the TAP chapter records alongside Austin, D.C., Boston, and Orange County chapters — see the umbrella record Taiwanese American Professionals 台美菁英協會.
-
Chapter-family breadth in the corpus: TAP’s network also left a scholarship record in Seattle — TAP of Seattle Scholarship Award — showing chapter activity (NY, Austin, D.C., Boston, OC, Seattle) recorded chapter-by-chapter in the story corpus.
-
Programming record preserved first-hand in the taiwaneseamerican.org community blog corpus (30+ TAP-NY event records; dated highlights): volunteer recruiting from 2010-01-17, 2010 Lunar New Year dinner banquet, 2010-02-06, Professional Speaker Series, 2011-04-26, first annual TAP softball team, 2011-08-27, New York Cares Day volunteer event, 2012-04-21, first annual NightMarket, 2012-04-25, TAP-NY Entrepreneur Challenge competition, 2012-08-15, and Women in the Workplace panel, 2014-05-14.
-
First-person memoir band-A material: Flipping the Taiwanese Oyster Omelette, 2013-05-09 records an attendee at TAP-NY’s “Cooking Series” (Cooking 101 with a Taiwanese “Ah Ma”) at Union Church, Astoria, Queens — Mrs. Lin teaching oyster-omelette flipping, a named community-organizing voice for the chapter.
-
Cultural programming also documented: Movie Night “You Are the Apple of My Eye” with TAP-NY.
-
HOLD: conflict on parent org — the TAH directory/press-kit bio frames TAP-NY as a TACL chapter, while the corpus files it under the independent 台美菁英協會 (TAP) chapter family. Never auto-merged; both framings retained.
