San Diego, being the gateway to both North and South Americas,
and with the important role of Hong Kong to the burgeoning China
market, the two cities are closely tied together.
Strengthening the business tie between San Diego and Hong Kong,
the Hong Kong Association of Southern California (HKASC) San Diego
Chapter was formed to facilitate programs for members of the Association
and the international business community in the San Diego area.
Under the leadership of Chapter Chair Eric Eng and other chapter
executives, Abe Wong, Caroline Cheung, Polly Yu, Kam Li, Timothy
Yeun, Kayla Nguyen and Kelvin Lee, the team has organized a variety
of programs from breakfast seminars, networking mixers to dinner
programs with featured speakers including Lawrence Tang of InvestHK
and Matt Andersen of U.S. Department of Commerce.
For upcoming programs or more information about the HKASC San
Diego Chapter, please contact the HKASC Secretariat by email
