Meet our board

Six volunteer directors set ADA’s certification standards, steward a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, and protect the women practicing this work — serving without compensation.

Leadership

Qi Wang

Founder EmeritusSouthern California

Doula and doula educator. Qi Wang seeded what would become the Asian Doula Alliance in 2021, starting from a WeChat community of Asian-immigrant postpartum caregivers and growing it into the seed of a national professional body. Her conviction — that culturally integrated postpartum care deserved both the dignity of formal certification and a community that protected the women practicing it — remains ADA's founding premise. As Founder Emeritus, she advises on community and cultural fidelity as ADA grows beyond its founding roots.

Seth Meng

PresidentBuffalo, NY

Seth Meng was elected ADA's inaugural Board President at the 2026 board meeting, where he serves as the executive lead for technology, governance, and standards. His background is as an analyst and researcher in elder-care outcomes at the University of Rochester Medical Center, applying statistics and machine learning to questions of long-term care quality and family-caregiver impact. That orientation toward measurement, instrumentation, and protective system design now shapes ADA's certification platform, multilingual exam architecture, and public verification registry. Seth came to ADA out of a long-standing commitment to building public-benefit institutions.

Directors

Wesley Lau

Independent DirectorLos Angeles, CA

Wesley Lau is a serial entrepreneur and venture capital investor whose career has crossed several industries — from technology and finance to community-focused initiatives. Outside his professional work, he has been a steady presence in community and public-benefit organizations, drawn to neighborhood cleanups and the unglamorous volunteer work others overlook. He brings that same orientation to ADA's board — that good organizations are built by people who do the small, repeatable work as carefully as the strategic decisions.

Minyu Zhang

Independent DirectorLos Angeles, CA

Minyu Zhang spent her earlier career in finance before turning much of her time and energy toward public-benefit work. She volunteers across a range of community and nonprofit initiatives, with a particular commitment to animal welfare and rescue. On ADA's board, she pairs financial discipline with steady engagement in mission-driven organizations — reading budgets carefully and showing up for the work because she cares about the people behind it.

Veronica Tseng

DirectorIrvine, CA

Veronica Tseng works in postpartum doula service operations across the Bay Area, Southern California, Seattle, New York City, and Chicago, where she focuses on doula coordination and family-facing program delivery. She brings that ground-level view to ADA's board — informing conversations on member needs, program quality, and how certification standards translate into daily practice for the doulas and families ADA serves.

Mia Liu

DirectorIrvine, CA

Mia Liu leads operations for a doula services organization, overseeing doula workforce coordination, regional service delivery, and the day-to-day work of running culturally integrated postpartum care at scale. She brings to ADA's board the practical realities of the field — the regional service markets, the doulas who carry the work, and the families they serve — and helps the board calibrate certification standards against operational reality.

Real governance, openly disclosed

ADA’s board is built so that no single organization can capture it. Independent voices hold the Alliance to its own standards.
