Lisa Hou (侯乃文)

Lisa Hou (侯乃文) is listed as 團體董事 (group director) on the official board of the Taiwan Center Foundation of the Greater Los Angeles (大洛杉磯台灣會館). The listing is on the foundation’s public board page (archived 2026-07-16 as taiwancenter-org-board.md). This page records that sourced board role and the surrounding organization context already in the vault. It does not invent a personal biography, employer, or which member group she represents — those facts are not in the board archive or in Taiwan Justice harvest hits for this name.

Identity Snapshot

  • English: Lisa Hou
  • Chinese: 侯乃文
  • Era: Contemporary (board snapshot 2026-07-16)
  • Geography: Greater Los Angeles / Alhambra, California (Taiwan Center office)
  • Core roles: 團體董事, Taiwan Center Foundation board
  • Organization: Taiwan Center (TWCLA)
  • Name variants: Lisa Hou; 侯乃文 (characters as printed on taiwancenter.org/board)

Overview

Taiwan Center (大洛杉磯台灣會館基金會; TWCLA) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit (EIN 95-4679702) with office at 901 S. Fremont Ave. #118, Alhambra, CA 91803. Official intro language already absorbed on the org page: education, arts, and community service for Taiwanese Americans in Southern California; 800+ permanent individual members and 50+ group members; they describe 36 directors and a public board table of 27 named people.

The board page heading (archive 2026-07-16) states that the directors come from many professions and jointly lead the Center’s development, and that they present themselves as guardians of a Taiwan-culture mission rather than only as decision-makers. Hou appears in that named table under 團體董事, not under officers (董事長 / 執行長 / 副董事長 / 秘書長 / 副秘書長 / 財務長) and not under 個人董事.

On the primary org page, group directors are listed as: Shirley Yu (張欣珠), Joyce Yeh (葉怡蘭), Josephine Pan (潘掬慧), Joseph Teng (曾英銘), Steven Wu (吳尚誠), and Lisa Hou (侯乃文). That is the full group-director slate in the current absorb. The site’s group-member directory is a separate list of member organizations; the board archive does not pair Hou with a specific group-member org, so this page does not guess one.

Role on the board (sourced)

  • Title on site: 團體董事
  • English rendering used here: group director (literal; not a second invented English title)
  • Snapshot date: 2026-07-16 (jina fetch of https://www.taiwancenter.org/board)
  • Hub: taiwancenter.org
  • Fact sheet: knowledge/research/taiwancenter-org-entities.md treats officers as A-priority named people; remaining directors (including group directors) are indexed on the primary org table unless expanded — this page is that expansion for Hou.

Officers on the same snapshot (for network, not a claim that Hou reports to them in an unpublished org chart): 董事長 Alan Thian (田詒鴻); 執行長 Simon Lin (林榮松); 副董事長 Roger Tsai (蔡漢成), Linda Liu (劉玲華), Jolie Chenn (陳芃佑), Shu Lai (賴淑遠), Tony Lee (李賢群); 秘書長 Ken Wu (吳兆峯); 副秘書長 Ray Jan (冉瑞宜); 財務長 Lisa Liu (劉雅薇).
