On March 8, 2026, the 美西玉山科技協會 Monte Jade West Science and Technology Association and 𝗠𝗝𝗔𝗔 𝗠𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺 proudly hosted the inaugural gathering of our new 𝗠𝗶𝗱-𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗿 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗽. This initiative was thoughtfully designed for Asian American technology professionals navigating the complex intersections of career ambition, family responsibilities, and personal well-being within the high-pressure environment of Silicon Valley.

The evening was defined by authentic connection and profound dialogue. Through shared experiences and small-group discussions, participants reflected on topics often sidelined in professional spaces: the unique pressures of leadership, the complexities of multi-generational caregiving, and the search for purpose during mid-career transitions.

In Silicon Valley, conversations are dominated by startups, innovation, and venture building, areas where Monte Jade West and MJAA remain deeply active. Our Mid-Career Group offers something different. We aim to strengthen the Asian American technology community not only through innovation but by creating a dedicated space for mentorship, reflection, and mutual support across all stages of life.

We extend our sincere gratitude to former board member and executive member 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝘃𝗲 𝗛𝘀𝗶𝗮 for sharing his moving personal and professional journey at our partner’s venue, 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗽 𝗜𝘀𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗧𝗔𝗜𝗪𝗔𝗡 – 𝗦𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗼𝗻 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝘆 𝗛𝘂𝗯 in Palo Alto. His leadership continues to uplift our community. Monte Jade West and MJAA are honored to have hosted such a meaningful event, and we remain committed to helping our members achieve a harmonious balance of professional success and personal fulfillment.
