GFCBW Atlanta Chapter Hosts Business Expo with Vibrant Community Engagement

The Global Federation of Chinese Business Women (GFCBW) Atlanta Chapter recently held its 2025 Business Expo at The Standard Club in Johns Creek. The event featured 25 diverse booths and attracted over 150 enthusiastic guests and community members.

The expo showcased a wide variety of businesses, including fashion apparel, handmade crafts, jewelry, beauty and wellness services, insurance consultations, college admissions and academic counseling, summer camp promotions, and delicious snacks. The event highlighted the entrepreneurial spirit and cultural charm of the Chinese-American community.

Several distinguished guests also attended the event, including Director of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office (TECO) in Atlanta, Mr. Shurong Yan; Overseas Community Affairs Council (OCAC) Advisors Mr. Xiangrui Wang and Mr. Futai Lu; and GFCBW Honorary Advisors Dr. Xiaoming Yuan and Dr. Zhida He.

Mr. Shurong Yan praised GFCBW as an important force representing Taiwanese women abroad. He noted that in addition to their professional success, members are deeply involved in community and charitable activities. He was pleased to see the vibrant interactions between vendors and guests and expressed gratitude to GFCBW for fostering business exchanges within the Atlanta overseas community.

Johns Creek Police Chief Mark Mitchell and Officer Deb Coble were also present to promote community policing and public services.

To further energize the event, hourly raffles were held throughout the day, with vendors generously donating various exquisite gifts. These drawings not only enlivened the atmosphere but also encouraged greater engagement and sales.

In a show of unity with GFCBW’s 89 global chapters, the Atlanta Chapter members held up banners to express their support for Taiwan’s inclusion in the World Health Organization (WHO).

Chapter President Janice Lu stated that the main purpose of the business expo is to help members promote their businesses and foster mutual connections. This was the chapter’s second time organizing such an event, and this year, external vendors were also invited to participate. The inclusion of outside vendors added diversity to the event and expanded its customer base. The chapter plans to continue hosting business expos every April moving forward.

She also extended her heartfelt thanks to the Prosper Foundation for its strong support and venue sponsorship, which contributed greatly to the event’s success.
