Thanks to AmCham for making US grow together as the next generation leaders for US and China relationship."
Jack Ding, Partner of Duan & Duan Law Firm
"More than a single program, LDP is a platform full of opportunity, challenge, creativity, and life wealth to cohorts. If you have a talented employee with potential, send him/her to LDP; it will exceed your expectations."
Lin Yu, Assistant President, Permco
"Joining the LDP program was one of the most remarkable experiences for me in 2022. I was deeply impressed by the number of speakers that LDP has invited for speeches – most of whom served as senior leadership team members in various industries and shared their life experiences that could not have been heard elsewhere. Besides, it was also encouraging to meet so many inspired young professionals. A sincere thank you to everyone who put this program together!"
