The Chinese Chamber of Commerce of Guam elected its new Board of Directors at its annual meeting conducted at the Sandcastle on January 21, 2009. The Board met for its first meeting on January 30,2009 at 6:00 p.m. in the CCCG Conference Room. The following individuals are the new Officers, Directors, and Committee Chairs of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce for 2009 to 2011.

The presence of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce overshadowed all other groups from Guam at the reception. Some people were lucky enough to shake hands with the Honorable Ike Skelton. As Guam moves ahead with the military buildup, the CODEL reception was another important milestone along the paths of economic development on Guam.

It is with a great deal of pride that I announce the election results for the new Board of Directors of the Guam Chinese Chamber of Commerce. The election was held during the Annual Meeting on January 21st in conjunction with the Chinese New Year Party celebrating the Year of the Ox.
