New York, NY – S. Alice Mong has been named Executive Director of the Committee of 100, a Chinese American leadership organization based in New York with membership across the United States. In the newly created position, Ms. Mong will manage the expansion of the Committee’s programs to build understanding between the U.S. and Greater China and encourage the full participation of Chinese Americans in American society, culture and politics.

Ms. Mong, herself, embodies the bi-cultural nature of the Committee and its work. Born in Taiwan, Ms. Mong immigrated with her family to the United States in 1973. She majored in international relations at Ohio State University and began her career with the Ohio Department of Development. She eventually built a strong coalition from the governmental, educational and business sectors of that state on issues pertaining to China and went on to head the Department’s regional office in Hong Kong.

Ms. Mong was most recently Senior Investment Manager for the non-property investment subsidiary of the Hang Lung Group, a leading Hong Kong property company with substantial investments both in Hong Kong and Shanghai. While at Hang Lung, Ms. Mong obtained a joint Executive MBA degree from Northwestern University (Kellogg School of Business) and the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology.

"We are delighted to have Alice on board as Executive Director," commented Robert Lee, Chairman of the Committee of 100. "Her appointment signifies the maturation and expansion of our organization following the establishment of a strong foundation on which we can now build. Alice’s bi-cultural experience is a perfect fit with both our goals and our needs, and we look forward to robust expansion with Alice’s leadership, added to the strong team we have in place."

"I’m both humbled and proud to accept this responsibility," said Ms. Mong. "As one who is both Chinese and American, I hope that my own experience and contacts, along with my professional knowledge base, will help the Committee to advance its goals and to accomplish one of my personal goals of building bridges among communities."
