Role in the Community (vault corpus, 2026-09-14)

  • TACL-LA leadership: the community essay Reflecting on TACL’s 25 Year History and Legacy (by Erica Ling, TACL 25th-anniversary gala, c. 2010) names “Former TACL-LA chapter President Karen Chang” directing volunteers at the 300-person gala — consistent with this page’s LA/DC legal-and-philanthropy profile; absorbed as community role, identity held pending verification (name appears without hanzi in the source).
  • Later community record: [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/whos-who-739-karen-i-chang-wu|TAH #739 Who’s Who profile]] (2015-12-20) and [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/223-karen-i-chang-wu-e5-bc-b5-e9-9f-b3-e9-9f-b3|TAH #223 Karen I. Chang Wu 張音音]] (2019-01-20) — two dated TAH records of the same person, 2015 and 2019.
  • Her pro-bono board work (Open Hands Legal Services; Taiwan Mission Foundation) aligns with the family record on Eileen Chang 楊宜宜’s page; no press-kit biography added beyond corpus facts.

Deepen-x re-check (slice 09142320-3, 2026-09-15)

  • SKIP-with-reason for Karen I. Chang Wu 張音音: corpus grep (works/articles, 張音音 / Karen I. Chang Wu / Karen Chang) returns only the three records already linked on this page (TAH #739, TAH #223, the TACL 25th-anniversary essay) — no memoir material beyond the existing Role in the Community section. Nothing absorbable; no conflicts introduced.

Vault Absorbed (2026-09-14)

  • Mother 楊宜宜 (Eileen Yi Yi Yang) matches Eileen Chang 楊宜宜 — the page for Morgan Chang’s wife lists daughter “Yin Yin”, the same person as this page’s 張音音. Both parents’ pages corroborate the family link.
  • Her Taiwan Mission Foundation advisory-board/pro-bono role mirrors the foundation her mother founded and leads (Eileen Chang — Founder and President, Taiwan Mission).
  • Vault work record: [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/whos-who-739-karen-i-chang-wu|TAH #739 Who’s Who profile]] (2015-12-20).
  • No further biography invented; verification still pending against the cited TAH pages.
