Upon receiving her law degree in 1984, Susan founded the US Pan Asian American Chamber of Education Foundation (USPAACC) with a group of business and civic leaders in Washington, DC and California, to bring the diverse Pan Asian American business and professional people together as one unified voice in business, commerce and trade. In 2001, she won two Federal cases for her small business clients, took sabbatical leave from her law practice, and became USPAACC National President & CEO. At USPAACC, Susan found her true calling in helping immigrants and new American citizens pursue their American Dreams through entrepreneurship and remained at USPAACC. Since then, she has changed the national landscape of minority business development and supplier diversity by adding thousands of qualified Pan Asian American businesses to the mainstream market place. Susan serves a Vice Chair of the Federal Communications Commission’s Equity and Diversity Council. In October 2021, under her leadership, USPAACC became one of eight national Tier 1 grantees of the $100-Million Community Navigator Pilot Program administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration. Together with 43 regional Tier 2 and Tier 3 grantees, USPAACC helped America’s small businesses hardest-hit by Covid-19 to retool, readjust, upscale, and grow. Susan loves music, enjoys reading and dancing, and has served on the Kennedy Center Community Advisory Board for more than 10 years. Susan also speaks Chinese (Cantonese and Mandarin) and writes Chinese fluently.
