Holly Ham

Holly Ham is a business and technology executive serving federal government clients as VP, Customer Success at Macannie, Inc. headquartered in Virginia. Service runs deep for Ms. Ham, having served the American people for 4 years as a Presidential appointee in education, commerce, housing and civil rights. As the Executive Director for the White House Initiative on Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders under President Donald J. Trump, Ms. Ham honored five living World War II Chinese-Americans veterans in Washington, D.C. as part of the Chinese-American World War II Veteran Congressional Gold Medal Act that was signed into law on December 20, 2018.

Since that special event in January 2019, hundreds of World War II Chinese-Americans veterans or their descendants across the United States have been honored and recognized for their dedicated service to our country in spite of laws prohibiting immigration and employment of Chinese nationals for decades prior.

Ms. Ham’s family fled war-torn, communist Vietnam in 1979 and settled in Texas where she received her elementary to postgraduate education and where she and her husband are raising their family today.
