Role in the Community

• Absorbed from the TAH memoir corpus ([[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/our-journeys-379|TAH Our Journeys #379]]): at the 東南夏令 gathering she led a 婚姻生活座談 (marriage-life discussion session), recalled by the author as one of the program’s richly attended highlights alongside lectures by 魚夫, 李永熾, 范振聲, 江蓋世 and 黃文英 — community teaching, not just clinical practice.
• Her family-therapy advocacy ran through the Taiwanese-American community press and publishing: the 路德信箱 column (路德信箱, 台灣公論報) and her 2010 book 成功的溝通—從家庭開始.
• Her 路德信箱 columns were reused as seed material for the 台灣公論報 婦女信箱 advice column: when the new column’s organizer canvassed experts and guarantors, 葉李麗眞 agreed to supply her old 路德信箱 drafts to launch it ([[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/ourjourneys79|Our Journeys #79]]) — community institution-building through the movement press.
• Husband 葉國勢’s own movement record, per the 全美台灣人協會 leader rosters in [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/ourjourneys106|Our Journeys #106]] and [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/ourjourneys233|Our Journeys #233]]: 成大電機系, 甘斯維爾佛大電機碩士, career at 布朗和根 (Brown & Root) engineering, 七七年全美同鄉會長, and 「支持台獨運動遭忌」 — his community leadership carried political cost, consistent with the 黑名單-era record in his own memoir 黑名單故事.
• Family/community nexus: her husband 葉國勢 hosted the first 鄒型美南台灣人夏令營 (1976-04, Hilltop Reservoir near Houston, ~100 attendees; [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/ourjourneys318|Our Journeys #318]]) and served as the fourth president of 全美會 (1976-09–1978-12, succeeded by 莊承業; [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/ourjourneys76|Our Journeys #76]]); he also published his own memoir 黑名單故事–一個基督徒的良心 (2019) and is profiled in [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/whoswho1122|TAH Who’s Who #1122]].
