The Association is a non-profit, non-political, non-religious professional body. The purpose is to increase economic development in the business fields of education, health care, high technology, green energy and other business fields and to contribute to Sino-US economic and cultural exchanges. In the past two years, the association has focused on community service and spreading Chinese culture. The association has held many free lectures on financial management, tax preparation, dental care, health care, investment, applying for college scholarships, etc. in the community. Looking to the future, ACECA will continue to work hard to promote the development of Chinese enterprises, spread Chinese culture, provide more public welfare activities for the community, and strive to provide financial assistance to poor areas, schools and students in the next two years. The association will establish scholarships to encourage high school and college students who have made outstanding contributions to the community. The association will design member VIP discount cards and love gift cards. The association will donate all proceeds from the sale of love cards to poor areas in China.
