I am Yan Ding. I am working in a biopharmaceutical company. I came to United States

in 1987. I received Master and PhD degrees from Michigan State University (MSU).

While I was in MSU, I had held several positions for MSU Chinese Student Organization

including being finance director, board member and general manager for administration

in Chinese school.

I came to North Carolina in 1999. I started volunteering shortly after my children started

attending Raleigh Academy of Chinese Language (RACL). I had held positions for vice

president and president for parent committee, board member ever since. I have been

general manager for administration since 2005.

CAFA has been the biggest Chinese organization in North Carolina. I am very fortunate

to be a CAFA member. I have been involving and volunteering for various activities

associated with CAFA. I was elected to be a board member. Currently I am the general

manager for CAFA Committee on General Affairs.

I am much honored to be a candidate for the 2010 CAFA president. No matter what

outcome is for the election, I will do my best to contribute to CAFA. Hope that I will get

your vote. Thank you very much for your support.
