Bridging Local to International: Taiwan Councilors Forum Invited to Attend the 51st NCSL Summit

The 51st Annual General Meeting of the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL) took place at McCormick Place, Chicago, from July 27 to 29. Bringing together 8,000 participants, the summit drew state senators and representatives from across all 50 U.S. states alongside international local council delegates. Keynote speakers featured Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt, Illinois Governor J. B. Pritzker, and Nobel laureate Geoffrey Hinton, widely recognized as the "Godfather of AI".

The Taiwan Councilors Forum (TCF) was the only Taiwanese professional organization invited to attend. This participation builds on a strong foundation of exchange--starting with former NCSL President Bruce Starr’s visit to Taiwan in 2014, and further strengthened by the visit of the 51st President, Marcus C. Evans, Jr. (Illinois State Representative, Democrat), late last year.

To represent the Forum in Chicago, TCF President Chin-Yen Tsai (Kaohsiung City Councilor) and Founder/Permanent Honorary President Chin-Chang Lin (six-term former Taipei City Councilor) specially appointed Secretary-General Professor José Chiu-C. Chen to attend the summit. Prof. Chen delivered TCF’s event invitations to NCSL leadership and international delegates.

During the conference, Prof. Chen met with Director General Dennis Yen-Feng Lei of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Chicago. Arranged by the organizers, Prof. Chen also held bilateral talks with NCSL leadership, including incoming President Barry Usher (Montana State Senator, Republican), incoming President-elect Bob Duff (Connecticut State Senator, Democrat), Honorary President Wayne Harper (Utah State Senator and Speaker Pro Tempore), as well as the current and incoming Chiefs of Staff.

During the talks, Prof. Chen extended a warm invitation to the incoming leadership team to visit Taiwan for the "10th Asian Councils Forum (ACF) Conference and the Inaugural Meeting of the Global Councils Forum (GCF)." Invitation documents were presented in person, followed by a photo session. In turn, the incoming NCSL President presented TCF with an NCSL 50th-anniversary commemorative folio.
