Coming Up Next on July 30: Nancy Yao Massbach, President/Director of the Museum of Chinese in America (MOCA)




The Museum of Chinese in America (MOCA) is a nonprofit educational and cultural institution in New York City that presents the living history, heritage, culture and diverse experiences of Chinese Americans through exhibitions, educational services, and public programs. Starting in 1980 as the community-based New York Chinatown History Project, it was founded by historian John Kuo Wei Tchen and Charles Lai. 

We're welcoming Nancy Yao Massbach, president and director of MOCA. She holds a degree in Diplomacy and World Affairs with a minor in Chinese language from Occidental College and an MBA from the Yale School of Management

Before being named president/director of MOCA, Massbach served as the executive director of the Yale-China Association, the managing director of the corporate programs at the Council on Foreign Relations where she had also been an International Affairs Fellow in Japan and a research associate on China. 

Massbach also worked in Goldman Sachs' investment banking division and executive office in Hong Kong and New York. She was the associate producer at CNN during the handover coverage of Hong Kong to the People's Republic of China in 1997. She served on the national board of the Association of Asian American Yale Alumni

MOCA's mission is "to celebrate the living history of the Chinese experience in America, to inspire our diverse communities to contribute to America's evolving cultural narrative and civil society, and to empower and bridge our communities across generations, ethnicities and geography through our dynamic stories." 

We will learn from Nancy Yao Massbach about the founding of MOCA, its location on Centre Street that was designed by Maya Lin-who came to fame as the designer of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C.- about MOCA's amazing programs, educational services and collections, and much more!
