Member of the Month
Cheer Sheng
Cheer first came to the United States during a one-month sister city exchange program, and shortly afterwards, she decided to pursue her college education in the States. After a few years of hard work and series of language exams, she landed in one of Arizona's state universities, and graduated with a BS degree in MIS and a MBA in finance.
Cheer has always been an outgoing, energetic, and passionate person, and she puts a lot of time and effort in helping strengthening ties between the Chinese and the American people. Soon after Cheer's family moved to Iowa, she contacted the Chinese Association of Iowa (CAI) and became part of the group. Since then, Cheer volunteered on numerous CAI projects and worked with board members on CAI's marketing and public relationship issues.
The following highlights her volunteer projects and the CAI greatly appreciates Cheer's continuous support:
- Helped usanized and volunteered at the 05 Spring Festival event & Film Festival at the Drake University
- Helped usanized and volunteered at the 05 Mid-autumn festival events at various locations
- Taught the 06 CAI Chinese language school

Currently, Cheer works at Wells Fargo Financial as an Investment Analyst, and she enjoys being part of the Iowa Chinese community. She hopes that one day she will have the opportunity to utilize her great personality and professional skills on the big international stage to promote culture understandings.
