Having grown up locally in an immigrant family, Giles has a life-long connection and commitment to the community in and beyond Chinatown. He is a recognized thought leader in Asian American communities nationwide.<\/p>\n
With more than a decade of experience in the nonprofit sector, Giles has a proven track record of direct service, advocacy work, and management experience. Giles earned his Bachelor of Arts in Economics and Political Science from UMass Amherst and a Masters degree in Public Affairs from UMass Boston. He
\nis an alumnus of the Institute for Nonprofit Management and Leadership at Boston University’s (BU) School of Management. He has also served as adjunct faculty in the Asian American Studies program at UMass-Boston, and is currently a mentor for the Community Fellows Program at BU.<\/p>\n
\u201cI look forward to ensuring that BCNC remains a strong support for this community and beyond. The families we serve are my own role models; I admire them for facing life’s hardest challenges with grace and courage,\u201d said Giles Li.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
