Interview with Cheng Imm Tan
On February 16, 2007, we went to meet Reverend Cheng Imm Tan. She is the Director of the Mayor’s Office of New Bostonians, located in Boston City Hall. (Visit www.cityofboston.gov/newbostonians/ for more information.) The Office of New Bostonians was established in 1998 to respond to the need of the city’s growing immigrant population and diverse cultural and linguistic community. As the Director, she leads, manages and builds the organization. When we asked Rev. Tan what a typical day is like at work, she said that she has many meetings, often with people to tell them about the importance of the organization and to encourage them to support the organization.
