MJAA亞美玉山要推出新活動囉！
這次特別邀請到【Breaking the Bamboo Ceiling】的作家Jane Hyun來演講，分享她身為亞裔美人的職場經驗，教授大家如何掙脫亞洲人的包袱，在職場中奪穎而出。
MJAA亞美玉山是由美西玉山所成立的組織。美西玉山是由一群在矽谷狠成功的商業人士所組成，成員有許多企業家，VC，及公司高級主管。美西玉山成立MJAA亞美玉山的主要目的，是要栽培在灣區工作的年輕人(2-10年工作經驗)，讓這些年輕上班族們可以認識年紀背景相同的朋友，也可以藉由這個組織獲得專業上的交流，彼此學習，多認識各行各業的人才。同時，因為有美西玉山的傾囊相授，MJAA有狠多資源可以運用。
MJAA是我們來灣區以後參加的第一個組織，結交了許多朋友，那根大木頭也是這屆的會長，所以趁這個機會幫他推廣MJAA的新活動，請大家告訴大家！
