Past CLD Administrator (2006-2008) Mr. Garry Guan blazed a path of political involvement for all of us when he ran for a 2010 Georgia state senate seat. As a self-proclaimed "ultimate political outsider," he waged a brilliantly executed campaign and garnered wide support from his constituents and the state as a whole. Even though the election result was quite a surprise to many friends and colleagues (including CLD members Jesse Lu and Frank Mou), Garry won our hearts and admiration for his tenacious do-good-deeds beliefs and selfless determination to represent the largely quiet Chinese-American community. With such auspicious political beginnings, Garry is undoubtedly on the path to success. We wish him the best in his future public service career.
Mr. Di Wu has recently accepted a job as a Curriculum Developer/Chinese Linguist at ASET International Services Corporation. As soon as he relocated from Illinois to Arlington, Virginia, he joined the ATA local chapter - the National Capital Area Translators Association. He and Professor Yuanxi Ma have submitted a joint abstract proposal to the Federation of International Translators (FIT), which will have its World Congress in San Francisco August 1-4, 2011. Currently, he is working to put together presentation topics for the ATA Conference in Boston. We highly commend Mr. Wu's tireless service to our Division.
Mr. Jesse Lu, another longtime CLD member and Certification Exam grader, attended the Denver Conference and represented our Division well in a few important sessions. He generously contributed his insight, experience and sound judgment on some key issues concerning the ATA and CLD. He is a kind, open and noble spirit and also a good sport at social gatherings. His e-mail commentary on test translations and input on Division matters are invaluable and highly appreciated by all members.
