To the many who have been following AD Magazine’s most powerful Asian person in America series, now has come time for you to choose which Asian woman in America will be crowned the title of Most Powerful in America. To those who are just tuning in, AD Magazine, in an effort to bring more cohesion and self-awareness to the Asian American community, has been, over the past month, collecting names from our readers to see which Asian man and woman they feel is currently the most powerful in America and then voting to see who will win.

In addition to the nominations we presented in our past issue, below you will find two more nominations that we have received in frequency.

To all that have contributed, ADI would like to thank you for your overwhelming support, and the results of both the male and female polls will be presented in the next issue.


Andrea Wong: Ms. Wong became President & CEO of Lifetime Entertainment in April, 2007, and oversees Lifetime, Lifetime Movie Network, the myLifetime.com website and Lifetime’s public advocacy campaigns. Prior to joining Lifetime, Ms. Wong served as Executive Vice President of Alternative Programming, Specials and Late Night at ABC. While at ABC, she oversaw the development of The Bachelor as well as the US versions of Dancing with the Stars and Extreme Makeover.

Ms. Wong graduated from MIT in 1988 with a degree in electrical engineering and received an MBA from Stanford University. Her interest in television began when she interned at NBC News while in graduate school.



Connie Chung: Ms. Chung, or as all Americans have come to know her by her full household name, Connie Chung is the first Asian-Pacific American anchor in national television. Her network television career has spanned NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, and MSNBC.

Ms. Chung started her career as a secretary for a local Washington TV station, with hopes of becoming a newswriter. Whenever a new story came into the station, she volunteered to cover it. She gained valuable experience and was soon sent to cover major stories, like the 1972 Nixon-McGovern presidential campaign and the Watergate hearings. After that, she became one of the most successful journalists in broadcasting. She was involved with several television projects at one time. In addition to anchoring the CBS Evening News, she has also hosted her own prime-time TV shows and special reports.
