Kuo, founder of the MP Prajna Buddhist Mission, has dedicated decades to humanitarian work both internationally and locally. Her efforts have focused heavily on supporting underserved communities in Southeast Asia, where she has raised funds to build schools and provide food to families facing poverty.
Her commitment to service extends beyond international efforts. Kuo has also played a significant role in supporting local communities, including being a leading contributor to the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank, demonstrating her dedication to addressing food insecurity closer to home.
“As an extraordinary leader and community pillar, Cindy Kuo has devoted her time and resources to creating a profound global and local impact,” Fong said. “Her enduring dedication to humanitarian service proves that true leadership is rooted in compassion. Mrs. Kuo’s commitment to service reflects that legacy, and I am honored to recognize her as Assembly District 49’s Woman of the Year.”
Kuo joins a group of women from across California honored for their exceptional service and leadership. The recognition is part of the California State Assembly Woman of the Year celebration, organized by the California Legislative Women’s Caucus. The annual event highlights women who have made meaningful contributions to their communities through advocacy, leadership, and service.
Each year, Assemblymembers select one honoree from their district to be recognized during a formal ceremony at the State Capitol, celebrating their impact across California communities.
