Wisdom, Consensus, and Joint Prosperity – Thirty Glorious Years of GFCBW
The GFCBW has traversed 30 years of history. It is the only international women’s organization legally registered within the Ministry of the Interior of the Republic of China. Past chairwomen have traveled globally, leading teams and carrying forward the mission of GFCBW. They have established chapters worldwide, with 89 chapters across three major oceans and six continents, and the organization continues to grow.
Congratulations to the newly elected Chairwoman Shu Min Lin of the 13th session, who has been chosen by popular acclaim to lead the distinguished team. Chairwoman Shu Min Lin is the recipient of the 7th Hua Guan Award and currently serves as the President of Chi Shen International Institution, overseeing real estate investment and construction both domestically and internationally. Beyond her successful career, she has established the New Taipei City Qi Yu Welfare Charity Foundation, dedicating herself to public welfare and community service. With a global perspective, foresight, and the spirit of great love, she serves members worldwide. In 2004, she founded the GFCBW Australia Chapter and has served as Vice President in the 8th, 11th, and 12th sessions, demonstrating rich experience and exemplary success as an entrepreneur. As a member of the Overseas Chinese Affairs Commission, she has assisted the government in advancing national diplomacy and overseas affairs, enhancing the visibility of the Republic of China globally, and exemplifying the “New Era Female Power” of Chinese businesswomen.
Under Chairwoman Shu Min Lin’s leadership, characterized by humility, kindness, and a willingness to shoulder responsibility, the integration of Chapter consensus, and the unity of global Chinese businesswomen, we believe there will be a positive impact and contribution to the international macro perspective of Chinese businesswomen, enhancing their global competitiveness and social status.
Overseas Chinese are not only the progenitors and defenders of the Republic of China but also serve as driving forces and diplomatic pioneers advancing the nation. GFCBW members, residing in various locations, use their networks to expand diplomatic space, enhance the visibility of the Republic of China, promote Taiwan’s soft power, and connect global Chinese communities. This is the direction of GFCBW’s efforts.
The current scale and reputation of GFCBW are the results of the collective efforts of past chairwomen, Hua Guan Award recipients, global chapter presidents, board members, advisors, and members. The value of GFCBW lies in the wisdom of outstanding entrepreneurs, mutual encouragement, learning, and growth.
We look forward to Chairwoman Shu Min Lin, in her 13th term, leading the organization to examine Taiwan’s future from an international macro perspective, combining chapters to become an important global network and communication platform for Chinese businesswomen, as well as a new force in national diplomacy. Cherish and support GFCBW to create boundless life value!
