Saturday June 5, 2004
 
Dear TASTA Members,
We are happy that TASTA has moved forward past the second year of age. During this year, we have organized
two seminars, sponsored one successful Tour to visit Taiwan’s Science-based Industrial
Parks, and are actively co-sponsoring an important Nanotechnology Workshop
from July 14 to 17, 2004,
at the Monterey Conference Center, California. In several gatherings, TASTA
representatives participated in exchanging views with representatives from
the U.S.
and Taiwanese business communities.
Detailed reports will be presented and distributed among the members
in the annual meeting.
Since the preparation and sponsoring of the
nanotechnology workshop have been an important undertaking of the TASTA Board
and Executive Team, TASTA Board decides not to organize a large annual
conference as what we successfully did right after our last year’s annual
meeting, instead we are calling for an annual meeting only. TASTA‘s Board has decided to hold our
annual meeting with all membership body in the afternoon of June 5, 2004, at
the Hunan Palace Restaurant.
Please refer to the attached agenda.
My Best Regards,
Liu-Hsiung Chuang(莊六雄) |
