Lily Phan, President & CEO | |
|
Dear Members,
It is with great pleasure that I introduce Lily Phan as our new President & CEO for the Irwindale Chamber of Commerce. With over 14 years of experience in program development and institutional fundraising within the non-profit sector, Lily brings a wealth of expertise and a deep commitment to our community.
Her diverse background in international development reflects her understanding of global dynamics, which will undoubtedly enrich our chamber's initiatives and collaborations. As a longtime resident of the San Gabriel Valley since 1979, Lily has deep roots in our community, particularly in the city of San Dimas.
Lily's academic achievements further underscore her dedication to excellence and leadership. Holding a B.A. in Economics with a concentration in Organizational and Business Management, along with a minor in English literature from UC Irvine, she embodies a multidisciplinary approach to problem-solving. Additionally, her Master's degree in Urban and Regional Planning from Cal Poly Pomona equips her with valuable insights into community development and sustainable practices.
With Lily at the helm, I am confident that our chamber will thrive under her guidance and vision. Please join me in welcoming Lily Phan as our new President & CEO, as we embark on this exciting journey together.
Warm regards,
Rick Flores
2024 Chair of the Board
