| TCC 成立背景 在1980年代，越來越多台灣人來到休士頓發展事業，在當地經濟復甦中扮演重要角色。 然而當時交流有限，資源不足，因此一群有心人士決定建立平台，促進合作與支持。 休士頓台灣商會於1987年5月31日正式成立，並由楊朝諄先生擔任首任會長。 Establishment Background In the 1980s, a growing number of Taiwanese entrepreneurs and professionals came to Houston, contributing significantly to the region’s economic development and business community. As the Taiwanese community expanded, the need for stronger networking opportunities, resource sharing, and mutual support became increasingly apparent. In response, a group of dedicated community leaders established a platform to foster collaboration, cultural connection, and business development among Taiwanese professionals in Houston. The Taiwanese Chamber of Commerce of Greater Houston (TCC Houston) was officially founded on May 31, 1987, with Dr. C. C. Yang serving as its inaugural President. 組織宗旨 休士頓台灣商會的核心精神是交流、合作、共榮： • 提供會員交誼與資訊交流的機會 • 提升台灣商人在休士頓的社會地位 • 促進本地工商農各界的繁榮 Mission Statement The core spirit of TCCGH (Taiwanese Chamber of Commerce of Greater Houston) is communication, collaboration, and shared prosperity: • Provide networking and information exchange opportunities • Enhance the social standing of Taiwanese businesses in Houston • Promote the prosperity of local industries and commerce | TJCCGH 成立背景 休士頓臺灣青商會由一群熱愛臺灣、關心僑社發展的休士頓青年共同發起，希望凝聚在地臺灣青年力量，培養具社會責任感的未來領袖，並傳承臺灣文化。在僑務委員陳逸玲女士及多位臺商會前輩的推動下，籌備工作逐步成形。 2023年11月4日，本會於徐佳青委員長見證下正式成立，由陳第元先生擔任創會會長，同年加入北美洲臺灣青商總會（TJCCNA），開啟服務僑社、培育青年領袖、促進臺美交流的新篇章。 Establishment Background Taiwanese Junior Chamber of Commerce of Greater Houston (TJCCGH) was jointly founded by a group of young people in the Houston area who love Taiwan and care about the development of the overseas Taiwanese community.
