美国亚太联盟（APAPA）对旧金山市长李孟贤（Ed Lee）先生的逝世深感悲痛。李市长于2017年12月12日星期二去世，享年65岁，当时家人、朋友和同事陪伴在他身边。
The Asian Pacific Islander American Public Affairs Association (APAPA) is deeply saddened by the loss of San Francisco Mayor, Ed Lee who passed away Tuesday, December 12, 2017, at age 65 with family, friends and colleagues at his side.
李孟贤市长长期支持APAPA，是整个亚太裔社区的先锋和众多领导人的榜样。 2011年1月，他被旧金山监事会任命为市长，成为该市历史上第一位亚裔市长。他于2011年11月的大选中正式当选为市长，并于2015年再次当选。李市长一直是公民权利、亚太裔社区的坚定支持者和倡导者。
Mayor Ed Lee was a long-time supporter of APAPA and served as a Pioneer and Role Model for many API Leaders throughout the community. Mayor Lee rose to become the first Asian American Mayor in 2011, when he was appointed mayor by the Board of Supervisors in January 2011. Later that year, he won the election in November 2011 and was re-elected in 2015. Mayor Lee has always been a staunch supporter and advocate for civil rights and the API community.
APAPA的第一届实习生和奖学金颁奖活动就是在旧金山市政厅举行，由李孟贤市长主持并做主题演讲。多年来，李市长一直热心支持APAPA的实习生项目。
Mayor Lee hosted the first annual APAPA Internship/Scholarship Award Event at San Francisco City Hall and served as the Keynote Speaker and as an avid supporter throughout the years.
APAPA全国领导委员会成员、湾区主席王彦邦先生说：“（李市长）令我印象最为深刻的是他谦虚低调的领导风格，和以实干手段解决问题的方法。他把以常理办实事的做法带回到旧金山，重视工商企业，推动科技行业发展，给旧金山市带来了繁荣。“
APAPA’s National Committee and Bay Area Region Chair, Albert Wang stated, “What impressed me the most was his humble, low key leadership and pragmatic approaches to problem solving. He brought common sense back into San Francisco and was considered pro-business, helping to develop the technology section that created the boom for the city.”
APAPA创始人兼全国主席尹集成先生说，“李孟贤市长是亚太裔美国人、所有美国人的英雄、榜样和公仆。李市长以廉正的气节和极大的勇气为我们多元化的社区做出了贡献。他的逝世是我们所有人的巨大损失。然而，他为国家和社区所做的贡献，他传承给我们的精神财富，和他对APAPA的支持，将继续激励、引导我们所有人为促进公民对公众事务的参与而不断前行。”
APAPA’s Founder and Chair, C.C. Yin, stated, “Mayor Ed Lee is a hero, role model and public servant for all API Americans and all Americans. Mayor Lee served our diverse communities with tremendous integrity and courage. His passing is a great loss to all of us, but his contributions, legacy and support of APAPA will continue to inspire and guide all of us working toward our common goal of civic empowerment.”
为了纪念李孟贤市长，APAPA将以他的名字命名2018年度的实习生奖学金。
APAPA will be naming and presenting a 2018 Scholarship/Internship Award in honor of Mayor Ed Lee.
