In his acceptance remarks, Thomas Chen said, "As an Asian-American immigrant business owner, I believe I have a responsibility to set an example for other minority business owners. I tell people who come to me for advice that they can achieve great things in America with hard work and determination, and most of all, a dream." Chen also acknowledged the dedication and talents of Crystal's staff in achieving its success. The National Minority Business Council brings the minority and women-owned business community together with large corporations to foster effective business relationships for all. The organization offers information, programs and advocacy for its members.
