The day-to-day leadership team will be coordinated by Secretary General Watson Chen, who has been a top-level athlete and has played many years in the Chinese Taipei national team, including winning a bronze medal at the 2001 World Games. He will be assisted by two other former national team players as Vice-Secretary Generals: Mr Jano C.H. Huang and Mr Vincent W.C. Huang.
