連結世代，凝聚社區
The TACC East Bay is more than a building. It is a living home for the Taiwanese American community — a place where heritage is honored, relationships are nurtured, and new generations find belonging.
Rooted in the San Francisco Bay Area, TACC East Bay serves as a vibrant hub where Taiwanese Americans gather to celebrate culture, share stories, and support one another. Through regular classes, workshops, and cultural programs, we provide opportunities for learning across generations — from language and arts to civic engagement and professional development. Our programs are designed not only to preserve Taiwanese heritage, but also to empower our community to thrive in American society with confidence and pride.
Beyond cultural preservation, TACC East Bay is committed to building bridges. We actively engage with local communities and institutions, fostering meaningful dialogue and collaboration. By connecting Taiwanese Americans with the broader Bay Area, we strengthen mutual understanding and enrich the multicultural fabric of our region.
At the same time, we look outward. TACC East Bay seeks to cultivate international exchange, linking Taiwan and the United States through cultural, educational, and professional partnerships. We envision a center where ideas, talent, and friendships flow across borders — where Taiwan’s voice is represented with dignity and creativity on the global stage.
For Taiwanese living abroad, TACC East Bay is a place to reconnect with roots, language, and shared memory. It is where children learn the stories of their ancestors, where new immigrants find guidance and companionship, and where long-time residents rediscover a sense of home. Here, the spirit of Taiwan lives on — not as nostalgia, but as a dynamic force shaping the future.
Founded in 2022, TACC East Bay is built with a long-term vision. We are committed to sustainable growth, thoughtful leadership, and intergenerational stewardship. This is not a temporary project, but a century-long commitment — a legacy institution that will serve future generations with resilience and purpose.
東灣台美人文化會館不只是一棟建築，更是一個有溫度、有記憶、有未來的家。它承載著台美人的文化根源，也孕育著下一代的希望與認同。
立足於舊金山灣區，會館是一個開放而充滿活力的社群平台。我們定期開設語言、文化藝術、專業發展與公共參與等課程與講座，舉辦節慶活動、論壇與交流聚會，讓不同世代在這裡學習、對話與成長。文化傳承不只是保存過去，更是讓傳統在當代生活中持續發光，成為社群自信與力量的來源。
除了服務台美人社群，會館也積極與當地社區建立連結，與各族裔團體、學校及機構合作交流，促進理解與合作。我們相信，台美人的故事與價值，是灣區多元文化的重要一環；透過持續對話與參與，我們為社會帶來更豐富的視角與貢獻。
同時，我們放眼國際，致力於促進台灣與美國之間的文化、教育與專業交流。會館將成為跨國連結的平台，讓創意、人才與理念自由流動，讓台灣的聲音在國際舞台上被看見、被理解、被尊重。
對於旅居海外的台灣人而言，這裡是一個可以找回語言與記憶的地方，是新移民獲得支持與陪伴的據點，也是第二代、第三代認識自身文化根源的橋樑。在這裡，台灣不只是地理名詞，而是一種持續傳承、與時俱進的精神。
東灣台美人文化會館創立於2022年。我們以長遠經營為使命，建立穩健制度與世代傳承的基礎。這不是短期計畫，而是一項百年志業——為未來世代打造永續發展、持續發光的文化家園。

Born in 1940 in Daan, Taichung, Dr. Daniel Ko developed an unwavering spirit and a drive for excellence despite growing up in financial hardship. After graduating from the Department of Chemical Engineering at National Taiwan University, he studied at Kansas State University in 1963 and earned his Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from Northwestern University in 1968. He then worked at an oil company, co-founded the Pittsburgh Taiwanese Association, and actively participated in the overseas Taiwanese movement. In 1973, he joined DuPont on the East Coast, demonstrating his expertise in both R&D and project management. In the 1990s, he went to China to resolve the company's operational and mass production issues, later serving as DuPont's Director of Technology Transfer for Asia. His 10 years of experience in China reinforced his conviction that Taiwan must not be annexed by China. Retiring from DuPont in 2001, Dr. Ko returned to Taiwan to serve as General Manager of Shinkinkong Synthetic Fibers, leading the company's successful transformation and return to profitability. Since retiring again in 2012, he founded the "East Bay Taiwanese American Senior Association" and actively dedicated himself to Taiwanese American affairs. Currently, he is spearheading the establishment of the "TACC East Bay," continuously working to promote interactions between Taiwanese Americans and local communities while passing on Taiwanese values and culture.
