Accomplishment

  1. President of North America Taiwanese Women’s Association (NATWA) (北美洲台灣婦女會會長) 2001-2002

Role in the Community

  • Took over the NATWA 月曆 (calendar) project from 林郁子 after 郁子 was elected vice-president in 1996 (per the NATWA history memoir 11).

  • Led the 1998 calendar 「未完成的夢」 with 楊美麗: 3,000 copies printed, sold out by Thanksgiving 1997 (per the calendar memoir 08).

  • As a NATWA leader she co-founded the Foreign Organization of Taiwanese Women Association (FOTWA, 國外臺灣婦女聯合會) with women’s associations in other regions of the world (per the NATWA history memoir).

  • 2015 Iguazu bus accident survivor: a fellow survivor’s memoir records her on the same tour bus in Brazil when the crash killed five Taiwanese compatriots; press reports wrongly listed her as dead («報上登說我死了»), and she helped doctors explain patients’ conditions to families in hospital. Written from inside the tragedy by Chang herself in her own memoir 《巴西復活記》 (2015-07) — 2015-07; the episode is also recounted in [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/ourjourneys249|Our Journeys #249]]. HOLD: the 298 memoirs call her 北美婦女會會長 during the 2015 trip, while the TAH table lists her NATWA presidency as 2001-2002 — possible later office or retrospective title, not merged.

  • TAF founding generation (roster photo): named in the back row of the 「第一代老將們合影於TAF夏令營」 group photograph in 楊遠薰’s TAF origin story (前排: 陳植哲、卓甫良、林秋菊、廖淑清、陳東蘭；後排: 陳澤華、劉洋祐、程韻如、林健華、王謹、吳素津、張簡吉誠、黃啟仁、楊忠正) — 205. TAF的傳承故事(1) TAF的創立─卓甫良的故事／楊遠薰／2015-02. This places her among the founding cohort of the Taiwanese American Federation, not only in the NATWA/WTC record.

  • FOTWA chair: per NATWA’s memoir history, NATWA leaders (e.g. 程韻如) four times chaired the FOTWA annual meetings held at 世台會 (World Taiwanese Congress) venues — 60. 咱的故事—NATWA的歷史. HOLD: 世台聯合基金會 (Foundation) vs 世界台灣人大會/WTC (Congress) are adjacent but distinct bodies — see World Taiwan Foundation; her 2019 WTC presidency signature (below) is the Congress, not the Foundation.

  • Org page: NATWA.

  • Encyclopedia entries in the corpus: [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/190-susan-chang|TAH #190 Y. R. Susan Chang 程韻如]] and [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/whos-who-1531-susan-chang|TAH #1531 Susan Y. J. Chang 程韻如]].

  • HOLD: name collision — the corpus also holds 「7. Collection of Mrs. Susan Chang Lee 張淑珍女士的收藏」 ([[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/collection-of-mrs-susan-chang-lee|TAH #7]], 2016-09-22), a different person (Susan Chang Lee / 張淑珍, married surname Lee; this page’s subject’s husband is 張仲郎). No conflation.

  • Corpus re-check (2026-09-21, deepen-x slice 09201500-3, vault-only): grep for 程韻如 / Susan Chang returns the memoir records already linked (#60, #160, #249, #298) plus the two encyclopedia pages and the Susan Chang Lee collection (linked above as collision). No new biographical facts absorbable.

  • Corpus re-check (程韻如 / Susan Chang, works+articles, slice-09211400-2 pass 2026-09-22): hit set unchanged (#60, #160, #249, #298, both encyclopedia records, Susan Chang Lee collision); the sole new match 1996 is a false positive — its 「Susan」 is Susan Yeh 葉舒珊, a different person. No new absorbable facts; verify-saturated.

Education

  • National Taiwan Univ. — BS, Nursing

Family

  • Husband: 張仲郎

  • Corpus re-check (程韻如 / Susan Chang, works+articles, slice-09220800-3 pass 2026-09-22): fresh grep returns only the records already linked above (#60, #160 incl. EN copies, #249, #298, TAH 1531, Susan Chang Lee collision) — no new absorbable facts; verify-saturated.

  • 2018-07-20 — Signed the NTU alumni protest statement against the SoCal NTU Alumni Association’s invitation of 管中閔 as 「程韻如(護理)」 (NTU Nursing), placing her among the ~190 alumnae/alumni dissenters (TJJ record, 2018-07-21); consistent with her NTU Nursing degree and her diaspora-organizing record.

  • Corpus re-check (程韻如, works+articles, slice-09221500-1 pass 2026-09-23): hit set = the records already linked (#60/#60-eng, #160, #249, #298, TAH 1531, index) plus the 2018 TJJ alumni protest letter absorbed just above; the Susan Chang Lee collection is no longer matched by the 程韻如-only grep (collision note above retained). No other new facts; verify-saturated.

  • Corpus re-check (程韻如 / Susan Y. J. Chang / Susan Chang, all 5 corpus dirs, deepen-x slice 10100700-19 pass 2026-10-11): 12-file hit set identical to prior passes — 60-eng, #160, #249, #298, TAH 1531, the 2018 + 2019 TJJ records, Susan Chang Lee collision, plus index/sources chrome. One nuance re-noted from the 2019 joint statement: the English signature line reads 「Susan Chang, Coordinator, World Taiwanese Congress」 while the Chinese line reads 「世界台灣人大會 會長程韻如」 — title variance (Coordinator vs 會長) retained as a HOLD alongside the existing presidency-date HOLD, not merged. No new absorbable facts; verify-saturated.

  • Corpus re-check (程韻如 / Susan Y. J. Chang / Susan Chang / 程韻, all 5 corpus dirs works+articles+sources+events+topics, deepen-x slice 10110315-21 pass 2026-10-12): 12-file hit set identical to the 2026-10-11 pass — 60-eng, #160, #249, #298, TAH 1531, the 2018 + 2019 TJJ records, the Susan Chang Lee (張淑珍) collision, plus index/sources chrome. The 2018-letter match is the 「程韻如(護理)」 signature inside the NTU-alumni roster (already absorbed above); surname-only and alias widening surfaced no new person or fact. Both HOLDs retained as-is: NATWA presidency 2001-2002 vs the 2015 memoirs’ 會長 title, and 「Coordinator」 vs 「會長」 in the 2019 bilingual signature. No new absorbable facts; verify-saturated.
