“Tae is a dynamic speaker and advocate, giving a voice to the American experience through his own stories and stories of the community he has worked with and served for many years. Tae came to Portland, Maine from Korea as a kid, and knows first-hand what it is like to be new in a place not known for its diversity. He is a skilled connector--bringing people together, expanding networks, and creating opportunities for people who are building livelihoods for themselves and their families. It is no surprise that Tae is recognized as a leader--he was one of Maine Magazine's "50 Mainers Leading by Example" and his TedX Dirigo talk inspires us to be more inclusive, understanding, compassionate empowered, and more effective in our collective ability to make social progress. I am honored to know Tae; he is making a difference. ”
