The Committee of 100 (Traditional Chinese: 百人會) is a group of prominent Americans of Chinese descent with the mission to "pool their strengths and experience to address important issues concerning the Chinese American community, as well as issues affecting U.S.-China relations." It was founded in 1990.
The declared key functions of the Committee are to serve as bridge between the cultures and systems of Asia and America and also, to provide a forum for those issues that Americans of Chinese and Asian descent face in bettering their lives in the United States. The Committee is to serve as "cultural ambassadors" and to foster the exchange of ideas and various perspective among our membership with those in the community and government.
