Role in the Community

  • NATWA association history credits her (as president-era contributor) with building the NATWA web membership directory and organizing a delegation to Geneva to join Taiwanese organizations worldwide petitioning for Taiwan’s admission to the World Health Organization — see NATWA 會史 / NATWA history (EN).
  • NATWA calendar (月曆) sales history: joined the sales effort in 1995 with drive, helping the calendar project overcome its 1994–95 sales crisis; in 1998 the 「未完成的夢」 edition, under the leadership of Susan Y. J. Chang (程韻如) and Mei-Li Yang, printed 3,000 copies and sold out around Thanksgiving 1997 — see NATWA 月曆史.
  • TAH Who’s Who lists her NATWA presidency as 2004–2005; the same association history attributes the 2005 post-Katrina relief visit to President Cecelia Tsai (葉明霞). HOLD: conflict on who held the NATWA presidency in 2005 (TAH table vs 會史 narrative), not auto-merged.
  • The 會史 frames each past president by her signature initiative in a 承先啓後 lineage (funds, newsletters, FOTWA, NATWA II); hers is recorded as the web membership directory and the Geneva WHO petition delegation — see NATWA 會史. Her own TAH encyclopedia records are preserved in the corpus as [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/37-mei-li-yang|TAH #37: Mei-Li Yang 楊美麗]] and [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/whos-who-2201-mei-li-yang|TAH #2201: Mei-Li Yang 楊美麗]].
