March 18, 2024 Chinese Herb Trade Association 855 Stockton St. #203 San Francisco, CA 94108 Dear Friends, I would like to extend my deepest congratulations to the Chinese Herb Trade Association for celebrating its 40th anniversary and the recognition of Chinese Herbal Medicine Day. For the past 40 years, the Chinese American medicine community in Northern California has coalesced around this event, promoting the importance of Chinese herbal medicine and the benefits it brings to the community. Additionally, the Chinese Herb Trade Association has developed strong ties with businesses to continue expanding herbal medicine’s influence in the United States. The work that the Chinese Herb Trade Association has done to strengthen the economic relationship between the Chinese medicine businesses and the San Francisco Bay Area Asian American community is tremendous. I deeply commend the association for building business and cultural connections through the promotion of Chinese medicine. On behalf of the United States House of Representatives and the people of the 28th Congressional District, I offer my congratulations to the Chinese Herb Trade Association. ^ŝŶĐĞƌĞůLJ͕ JUDY CHU, Ph.D. Member of Congress, 28th District THE HONORABLE FIONA MA California State Treasurer Congratulates the American Chinese Herb Trade Association On the Occasion of Its 40th Anniversary On Behalf of the State of California, I Hereby Award this Certificate of Recognition in Honor of the American Chinese Herb Trade Association’s 40 Years of Service to Over 200 Company Members in the Herbal Medicine Trade & Its Unwavering Commitment to Enhancing the Professional Standards of the Industry.
