USU HUNTSMAN SCHOOL OF BUSINESS TO HONOR ALUMNUS WHO IS EXPERT ON TRADE WITH CHINA
LOGAN – The Utah State University Jon M. Huntsman School of Business plans to honor an alumnus who has started several successful businesses and been sought out as an expert on apparel importing and exporting with Asia.
Frank Yuan will receive a Professional Achievement Award at a luncheon during the Partners in Business Financial Services and Banking Seminar Jan. 24 at USU. Yuan is president and CEO of Cyber Merchants Exchange (C-Me), a company that, among other things, organizes apparel trade shows in the United States and China. He graduated with a master of accounting from the Huntsman School of Business in 1973.
His company grew more than 3,600 percent between 1998 and 2002 and was included on the Deloitte & Touché Technology Fast 50 Awards list in 2002 and 2003.
"The company now puts on apparel trade events for a firm we own called ASAP Global Sourcing Show, and we are opening a number of franchise apparel stores in China and other parts of Asia for IBMC China AG, a Switzerland corporation," Yuan said.
Yuan has been interviewed on "CNBC," "CNN," "Wall Street Journal" and the "Wall Street Reporter" about his firm and industry trends. He also co-founded UN Imports, an apparel import and wholesale company; UNI-CGS, a computer hardware importer and wholesaler; United National Bank, Evertrust Bank, Serv-American National Title Insurance and the Western Cities Title Insurance Company.
The Professional Achievement Award is given in "recognition of individuals who achieve extraordinary success in their careers and demonstrate uncommon leadership in their communities."
The luncheon is open to any who register for the one-day seminar. More information is available here.
