Date Issued: April 5, 2020
Westmont Mayor Ron Gunter recently presented a Key to the Village to Weizan Wang, who is starting a new position in Taipei, Taiwan after serving as the Director of the Taiwanese Cultural Center here in Westmont for the past four years.
“On behalf of the village, I want to thank you for all you’ve done to support the community,” said Mayor Gunter during the presentation. “You have been here since the start of our Sister City and we greatly appreciate your cooperation and friendship.”
During Wang’s tenure as Cultural Center Director, the Village of Westmont has hosted over a dozen cultural events in which performers, artists, and students from Taiwan have visited Westmont.
When asked about what he will miss most about the United States, Wang responded that he will miss American food, specifically steak, and the Taste of Westmont Summer Festival.
Attending the presentation was Kerry Liou, who will be the new Director of the Taiwanese Cultural Center in Westmont. The Village of Westmont welcomes Ms. Liou and looks forward to continuing our excellent relationship.
