2025 CCBA four chiefs were elected: Norman Nie as President, Lester Gee as Vice President, Kathleen Cheung as Supervisor Chairwoman and Kin Wai Ng as the Supervisor Vice Chairman. The inauguration ceremony will be held at 4 p.m. on New Year's Day at the CCBA assembly hall.

Since announcing their candidacy last month, the 4 chiefs have been actively participating in activities, festivals and various Overseas Chinese Association inauguration ceremonies. According to the tradition, CCBA conducts the election for the four chiefs and president/chairman of the three sub-organizations during December every year. Since there was only one group of candidates this year, the four chiefs were therefore elected on December 16th and 17th with the acclamation approval by all directors and supervisors. Taipei Economics and Cultural Office in Los Angeles Deputy Consular Officer Franny Che, Cultural Center of Taipei Economics and Cultural Office in Los Angeles Director Ben Chen and Deputy Director Fabbit Fang were present to congratulate the elected ones.

Elected President Norman Nie said that after assuming office next year’s New Year Day, the four chiefs and the cabinet members are committed to promote innovation, harmony and unity among the 27 Overseas Chinese Associations. He mentioned many to do lists in 2025, such as traffic problem, tour group attraction to Chinatown to enrich restaurants and other commercial merchants, dedicated parking place for big tour bus, supermarket needs, and care for the elderly.

Elected Supervisor Chairwoman Kathleen Cheung mentioned that she will do her best to work with the leaders of the Chinese Confucius Temple, the Chinese Cemetery and the Welfare Committee as well as all Board of Directors and Supervisors to jointly promote the CCBA affairs, serve the community, and lead the CCBA forward.

2025 CCBA Board of Directors staff members are: Chinese Secretary: Stanlar Wong, Mark Lin(deputy); English Secretary: Daisy Ma, Gary Kwan (deputy); Treasurer: David Zhou, Kelvin Huang (deputy); Auditor: Tak Seng Yeung, Rebecca Chiu (deputy). The Board of Supervisors staff members are: Chinese Secretary: Lee Ying Ying, Liang Zhuorong (deputy); English Secretary: Seu Hwa Cheung, Kevin Yang (deputy); Auditor: Mimi Chao, Jason Chen (deputy).
