Trustee Profile
Sally WongAvery was the first female elected President of the Chinese Benevolent organizations, one of San Diego’s oldest Chinese community organizations dedicated to preserving and educating the public about Chinese history and culture. Using her expertise in the restaurant business, she became one of the first Chinese certified Food Handling Instructors to teach health sanitation and safe food handling practices to all the Chinese restaurant workers. In 1987, she left the Center and founded Chinese Professional Services. She provided critically needed services-translation, interpretation; job referrals, food handling classes, business consultation services, and Chinese corporate marketing research. In the mid-1980s, she became the Principal of the oldest Chinese School in San Diego. She also opened a private law office to serve San Diego’s Chinese before opening the Chinese Service Center of San Diego.
