Our great Asian American leader Elaine Chao in America
By Tiffany Chang

***** The grand essentials to happiness in this life are something to do, something to love and something to hope for. ---Joseph Addison

***** "To succeed in the 21st Century, our nation must be prepared to adapt to changes in our economy—in how we work, where we work, and how we balance our professional and family lives." ---U. S. Secretary of Labor Elaine L. Chao

-------------------------------------------
"Getting people back to work is what this Department does. Giving people hope in their future is our job," said Secretary Elaine L. Chao of the U. S. Department of Labor.*1

"Incentives brings us with encouragement. Encouragement brings us with good work performance. In the 5:19 on Ecclesiastes of the Bible, it stated that 'When God gives any man (or woman) wealth and possessions, and enable him (or her) to enjoy them, to accept his (or her) lot and be happy in his (or her) work---this is a gift of God,'*2" said Dr. Tony Lei, President of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI).*3

At the age of 19, Elaine Chao was elected as a Scholar of the U. S. White House. U. S. Labor Secretary Chao was Chairperson of Federal Air Transportation and Vice President of Bank of American Main Office. In addition, she has contributed many years of community service and charity endeavor notably, as President of United Way, President of Peace Corps, and Senior Fellow of Heritage Foundation.*4

Secretary Chao received her B. A. degree in Economics with straight A's for all her four years at the famous Mount Holyoke College in New England. She obtained her M. B. A. degree from Harvard University in 1979. She also studied at M.I.T., Dartmouth College, and Columbia University.

At the time she was nominated by President Bush as the Secretary of Labor, she told her father that she does not intend to be an "Authoritative Official". She hoped that she could contribute to our society and nation.*5

Secretary Chao has received numerous awards for her professional accomplishments and community service. She is the recipient of 21 honorary doctoral degrees from colleges and universities around the world.

Secretary Chao is married to the Majority Whip of the United States Senate, Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky.

"Elaine L. Chao is the nation's 24th Secretary of Labor, representing a new generation of American leadership. Since her confirmation by the United States Senate on January 29, 2001, she has been dedicated to carrying out the Department of Labor's mission of inspiring and protecting the hardworking people of America. She is respected as an effective and articulate champion of the nation's contemporary workforce, acting quickly to focus the Labor Department on the modern realities of workers' lives."*6

"When President George W. Bush nominated Elaine L. Chao, the first Asian-American woman appointed to a President's cabinet in U.S. history, he described her as an individual with strong executive talent, compassion, and commitment to helping people build better lives."

According to the U. S. Department of Labor, Secretary Elaine Chao's compassionate nature stems from her own background as an immigrant to this country at the age of eight. Her family's experience transitioning to a new country, supported by one another and the kindness of friends and neighbors, taught her that encouragement is the key to fostering independence, and that Americans are naturally compassionate people. This inspired her to dedicate most of her professional life to ensuring that people have the opportunity to pursue lives of dignity and financial independence.

As Director of the Peace Corps, Ms. Elaine Chao was one of the first Americans to personally embrace the people of the former communist bloc into the family of democratic nations, establishing Peace Corps programs in the Baltic nations of Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia and the newly independent states of the former Soviet Union. Later, as President and Chief Executive Officer of United Way of America, she restored public trust and confidence after the organization was tarnished by mismanagement and financial abuse, thus preserving the nation's largest institution of private charitable giving.

The experience Ms. Elaine Chao gained at the United Way helping communities address their local needs prepared her to mobilize the Department of Labor to promote pathways to economic freedom for individuals and families working to achieve the American Dream. She describes her vision for America's workforce as one in which everyone can participate where jobs and opportunities are available for those leaving welfare, job training is accessible for those left behind, disability never bars a qualified person from the workplace, and where parents have an easier time balancing the responsibilities of work and home.

"Secretary Chao's previous government career includes serving as the Deputy Secretary at the U.S. Department of Transportation, Chairman of the Federal Maritime Commission, and Deputy Maritime Administrator in the U.S. Department of Transportation. She brings a wealth of business experience to the post, having worked as Vice President of Syndications at BankAmerica Capital Markets Group and a banker with Citicorp. Prior to her nomination as Secretary, she expanded her study of policy as a Distinguished Fellow at The Heritage Foundation, a Washington-based public policy research and educational institute. She was selected as a White House Fellow in 1983," states the Department.*7

Following the inspiration of the past many years of the accomplishment of Ms. Elaine Chao's contribution of humane spirit to our society, we have the persistense of Wou Shien's spirit for education here in America. If a coolie and hard woker like him could dedicate to eduction by offering all his income and life to build a school for children in his village, what should not for us to offer our efforts for our community?*8

To serve our community with wisdom and effort is the main creed of Washington Business and Technology Institute. It is our pleasure for community service to post the following introduction about Secretary Elaine Chao from the Office of U. S. Department of Labor:

趙小蘭部長簡介*9 [Meet U. S. Secretary of Labor Elaine Chao (in Chinese)]:

趙小蘭女士是美國勞工部第二十四任部長﹐代表著美國新生代領導人才。自從趙蘭女士2001年一月二十九日由美國參議院表決通過出任部長以來, 她便全力貫徹 勞工部的使命﹐ 鼓舞並保護美國勤奮工作的人民。趙部長是國家當今人才資源中一位受人敬仰﹐高效率且行事明確務實的精 英 翹楚。 積極行動的態度推動勞工部對改善職工生活的現狀全力以赴。

當布希總統提名趙小蘭女士﹐這位美國歷史上首位美籍亞裔女性為總統內閣閣員時﹐他描述趙女士“具備行政管理的過人天賦與一顆悲天憫人的心﹐且不遺餘力地協助他人追求更美好的生活。

趙部長熱情積極的個性與她八歲移民到美國的個人背景有關。 當她的家庭移居到這塊國土﹐ 展開新的生活時﹐ 他們全家不但為他人接受﹐ 並得到許多朋友﹐鄰居和個人友善的鼓勵。這使她領悟到鼓舞人心是 培 養獨立精神的關鍵﹐ 也讓她體會到美國人是一個天性熱情的民族。這些感受啟發了她﹐ 令 她 在一生的職業生涯中﹐ 總是盡力確保人們能追尋一個有尊嚴且經濟獨立的生活。

擔任和平工作團 (Peace Corps) 團長期間﹐ 她是最早一群歡迎原為共產主義地區的人民成為民主世界成員的美國人之一﹔她在拉脫維亞 (Latvia), 立陶宛 (Lithuania), 愛沙尼亞 (Estonia), 以及一些新獨立的前蘇聯小國家裡建立了和平工作團計劃。之後﹐ 在美國聯合慈善基金會(United Way of America) 任職總栽及執行長時﹐ 她使這個機構從管理不當和財務浪費的惡名中脫胎換骨﹐恢復了該機構的公信力並重新贏得了公眾對慈善機構的信心﹐ 因而重振了美國這家最大的私營慈善組織。

協助社區了解自身需求的重要性是趙部長在聯合慈善基金會任職時得到的心得。該經驗使趙部長出掌勞工部後﹐ 讓該部具備機動性﹐ 以推廣各種能讓個人和家庭獲得經濟獨立的職業途經﹐從而實現他們追求的美國夢。

趙部長闡明她對美國職場的看法為 “一個任何人都能參與的...對不再享有社會福利的民眾給予工作和機會﹐ 對職能不足的人士提供職業技能訓練﹐保障殘障人士享有無障礙的工作環境﹐並讓身為父母的職工們更容易兼顧工作與家庭的責任。”

趙部長過去的公職包括美國運輸部副部長﹐ 聯邦海事委員會主席和美國運輸部航運署副署長。 因曾就任美國銀行基金市場集團副總栽﹐且為花旗集團中的銀行家﹐趙部長將過去在企業界 工作的豐富經驗帶到目前的職位上。 就任勞工部部長之前﹐她在傳統基金會(the Heritage Foundation) 中是一位得以發展其行政專業的傑出學者(Distinguished Fellow)。該 組 織是一個以華盛頓為 中心的公共政策研究和教育機構。 此外﹐ 她也在1983年當選為 "白宮學者" (White House Fellow)。

趙部長擁有美國哈佛大學商業管理學院的碩士學位和聖山女子學院經濟學學士學位。她也曾在麻省理工學院﹐達爾矛斯學院﹐和哥倫比亞大學進修。由于積極參與各種義工活動﹐趙部長在專業成就和社區服務上都獲得眾多讚譽。 趙部長在專業成就和社區服務上都獲得眾多讚譽。她曾獲得全 球 24 所知名大專院校所頒授的榮譽博士頭銜。趙部長的夫婿是美國參議院 多數黨領袖助理 ﹐現任肯塔基州聯邦參議員密契麥康諾 (Mitch McConnell)。

It is our pleasure to post the information "About Secretary of Labor Elaine L. Chao" as in the following*3:

Elaine L. Chao is the Nation抯 24th Secretary of Labor and the first Asian American woman appointed to a President's cabinet in U.S. history. Arriving at the age of eight from Asia speaking no English, Secretary Chao's experience transitioning to a new country inspired her to dedicate most of her professional life to ensuring that workers have access to opportunity and the chance to build better lives.

Since her confirmation by the United States Senate on January 29, 2001, she has been dedicated to carrying out the Department's mission of promoting and protecting the health, safety, retirement security, and competitiveness of the nation's workforce.

During her tenure, the Department updated the white collar overtime regulations under the Fair Labor Standards Act, which has been on the agenda of every Administration since 1977. The most significant regulatory tort reform of President Bush's first term, the new regulations provided millions of low-wage vulnerable workers with strengthened overtime protection. In 2003, the Department achieved the first major update of union financial disclosure regulations in more than 40 years, giving rank and file members enhanced information on how their hard-earned dues are spent. The Department has set new worker protection enforcement records, including recovering record back wages for vulnerable low wage immigrant workers. The Department has also launched comprehensive reform of the nation's publicly funded worker training programs, to better serve dislocated and unemployed workers. On August 17, 2006, President Bush signed the Pension Protection Act, which protects the 44 million workers whose retirement security rests upon private sector defined benefit pension plans.

Secretary Chao's career has spanned the public, private and non-profit sectors. As President and Chief Executive Officer of United Way of America, she restored public trust and confidence in one of the nation's largest institutions of private charitable giving after it was tarnished by mismanagement and financial abuse. As Director of the Peace Corps, she established the first Peace Corps programs in the Baltic nations and the newly independent states of the former Soviet Union.

Her government service also includes serving as Deputy Secretary at the U.S. Department of Transportation, Chairman of the Federal Maritime Commission, Deputy Maritime Administrator in the U.S. Department of Transportation and White House Fellow. She has also worked in the private sector as Vice President of Syndications at BankAmerica Capital Markets Group and a banker with Citicorp. Prior to her nomination as Secretary, she was a Distinguished Fellow at The Heritage Foundation.

Secretary Chao received her M.B.A. from the Harvard Business School and her undergraduate degree in economics from Mount Holyoke College. She also studied at M.I.T., Dartmouth College, and Columbia University. Active in many volunteer activities, Secretary Chao has received numerous awards for her professional accomplishments and community service. She is the recipient of 28 honorary doctoral degrees.

The first Kentuckian named to the President's cabinet since 1945, Secretary Chao is married to the United States Senate抯 Republican Leader, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky.
