President George W. Bush announced yesterday that he
intends to nominate Shinae Chun to be director of the Department of Labor
Women's Bureau.
"President Bush has once again made history, this time by
nominating Shinae Chun as the first Asian-Pacific American woman ever to lead
the Women's Bureau," Secretary of Labor Elaine L. Chao said. "This is
tremendously exciting moment, not just for the Asian-American community, but
for all women."
Chun, a first generation American, is currently the
Managing Director of the ITR Corporation in Chicago, Illinois, and was director
of the Illinois Department of Labor from 1991 to 1999. She was director of the
Illinois Department of Financial Institutions from 1989 to 1991 and was special
assistant to the Governor of Illinois for Asian American Affairs from 1984 to
1989. She is a graduate of Ewha Women's University in Seoul, Korea, and
received a Master's degree from Northwestern University.
