President Clinton dedicated the week after Mother’s Day as Taiwanese American Heritage Week (TAHW) at 1999. Since then, We join hands to reach out to the general American public to share our heritage every year.
 
This year, we have celebrated the Taiwanese American Heritage Week from May 9 until May 16.
 
The celebration was noticed by elected officials from Oregon, Washington, Missouri, Maryland, Ohio, and Massachusetts. They issued proclamations honoring the contributions Taiwanese Americans have made to the diversity and prosperity of American society, and their contributions to the promotion of democracy and security of their country of birth – Taiwan.
