Former Anchor Li Na-ya Elected President of Federation of Chinese Schools in America

Li Na-ya, a former news anchor known for her "classical beauty," has been elected the new president of the Federation of Chinese Schools in America. The election took place during the federation's 32nd annual conference, where Li, representing Northern California, garnered 50 votes to secure the leadership position.

Having resided in the United States for many years after moving from Taiwan, Li has a background in Chinese language education, previously serving as the principal of the Bay Valley Chinese School in San Francisco. Her victory marks a significant moment for the organization, which aims to promote Chinese language and culture abroad.

In her acceptance speech, Li Na-ya outlined her commitment to implementing her campaign promises. A key initiative includes forming a delegation to visit Taiwan. This delegation will seek to learn from Taiwan's successful educational practices, fostering experience exchange and bringing valuable insights back to the U.S. to support overseas Chinese language teachers.

Li also emphasized the goal of connecting U.S.-based Chinese language education with mainstream American society. The Overseas Community Affairs Council of Taiwan has already expressed strong support for Li's proposed visit to Taiwan, signaling a collaborative effort to strengthen the federation's impact and promote Taiwanese influence globally.

During my term, I will form a delegation from the Federation of Chinese Schools in America to visit Taiwan for experience sharing. We will bring back Taiwan's successful experiences to the United States to help enhance overseas Chinese language teachers and connect with mainstream America.
