PKUAANC Career Development Forum: 与百人会成员等探讨职业转型 - 12/4 Friday
PKUAANC Career Development team proudly presents
Career Development Forum Series #2 – Career Changes (Panel Discussion)
The United States offers more opportunities for people in the work force to switch tracks than most other countries in the world. As immigrants and foreign students, we are used to making changes and leveraging choices, which are what brought us to this new land.
Career changes can be natural, such as through job progression, or intentional, such as through additional professional schooling. In this informative panel, we have invited three excellent speakers with three unique sets of career experiences to share with the audience their "why," "what," and "how" in career changes.
Come and share this interactive panel with us. Together we will explore how each of us should, or should not, make career changes.

About Committee 100:
百人会(Committee of 100)是美国的一个华人精英组织,目前有会员130人左右,全部是在美国社会中有影响力与知名度的华裔组成。该组织由著名美籍华裔建筑师贝聿铭等人发起,成立于1990年,常设机构设于纽约。对促进美国与中国以及两岸之间的政治、经济交流起到了特殊的促进作用。与在美国的其他众多华人社团不同的是,百人会的入会资格十分严格,必须由会员推荐,经其他所有会员审核过关之后才会接纳。
百人会的宗旨有三个:
1. 旅美华人能在美国立足生根做贡献;
2. 增进中美邦交;
3. 改善两岸关系。
该组织是在美国最有影响力的华人组织之一,每年的年会都会邀请美国政、商界的重要人士参加,例如2003年的年会就邀请到了美国副助理国务卿和前《纽约时报》总编辑等人发表演说,阐述中美关系发展。此外,百人会与两岸之间的互动也十分频繁、顺畅,百人会曾多次组团访问中国大陆,并曾与包括前总理李鹏、朱镕基等在内的最高层领导人会晤,而每年的年会也都邀请中国驻美大使参加。百人会与台湾方面、特别是泛蓝阵营的接触也很密切,连战、宋楚瑜等也曾接见过百人会的代表团。而1992年两岸历史性的新加坡汪辜会谈,就是由汪道涵委托,通过百人会成员向李登辉等人转达之后促成的。
百人会著名成员包括了建筑师贝聿铭、前柏克莱加大校长田长霖、美国首 位华裔州长骆家辉、流行性疾病研究专家何大一、雅虎网站创办人杨致远、慈善家唐仲英、台积电董事长张忠谋和华人女作家张纯如等人。
