CPC Recognized by City & State NY
In their latest issues, City & State NY recognized two CPC staff. Susan Zheng was named as a Queens Hero, and Wayne Ho was ranked #15 on the Asian Power 100.
Queens Heroes:
Susan Zheng
Residential Manager, Individual Residential Alternative (IRA) Program
“Although staff at the group home are tasked with providing around-the-clock care and activities for the six residents, who range in age from their 30s to their 60s, they cannot legally keep a resident on the premises against their will, [Susan] Zheng says. At the same time, she knew she was responsible for the health and well-being of individuals who are statistically more susceptible to COVID-19: According to an analysis by NPR, people with developmental disabilities are 2.5 times more likely to die of COVID-19 than the general population.”
#15 of 2020 Power of Diversity: Asian 100
Wayne Ho
President & CEO
“As head of the largest Asian American social services organization in the U.S., with 35 locations across New York City, Wayne Ho [has] been busy. Ho spoke out against rising hate crimes during early stages of the pandemic, was active in the state’s 2020 Census efforts, and was behind lobbying legislation to require state agencies to disaggregate data on Asian American communities – although it was vetoed by Gov. Andrew Cuomo.”
CPC acknowledges the work of former board members, staff, and allies
who also made the 2020 Power of Diversity: Asian 100.
