The Dui Hua Foundation is pleased to welcome Ms. Daisy Poon as our Development Manager, based in the foundation’s San Francisco office.
In late summer 2010, Dui Hua’s Board of Directors held a strategic planning meeting. A decision was reached to create the position of Development Manager to manage Dui Hua’s special programs and all aspects of the foundation’s development planning and implementation.
Ms. Poon, born in Hong Kong and educated in the United States, graduated with honors from Cornell University with a degree in electrical engineering, and in law from UCLA, where she was managing editor of the UCLA Law Review and Asian Pacific American Law Journal. She clerked for Honorable Judge Garland Burrell in Sacramento in 2008. More recently she has practiced intellectual property law at a major law firm in Silicon Valley. She is the first member of Dui Hua’s staff to be a practicing lawyer.
“A special task for Daisy will be helping manage Dui Hua’s growth into new areas of human rights, including such issues as juvenile justice reform and treatment of women in prison,” said John Kamm, Dui Hua’s Executive Director. “We are delighted that someone so committed to what Dui Hua stands for, with such a distinguished background in law and technology, has decided to join us.”
