Jonathan Huang is a busy man. A resident of Australia, he is the honorary president of the Taiwanese Chambers of Commerce in Oceania, a senior advisor to the OCAC, and one of six delegates from the overseas community chosen to be on the Preparatory Committee for the Centenary Celebrations for the R.O.C. Thanks to his success as a real estate developer in Taiwan and Australia, he was able to enjoy the good life until a serious illness five years ago prompted him to reevaluate his priorities. He realized that simply accumulating wealth was not an end in itself, but rather an opportunity to help those in need. Living proof of the proverb, “It is more blessed to give than to receive,” he is now happiest using his money to improve the lives of others. In recognition of his philanthropic work in Taiwan, last year OCAC Minister Wu Ying-yih awarded Huang with a medal that is the highest honor given to overseas compatriots.
旅居澳洲的黃正勝是大洋洲台灣商會聯合總會名譽總會長，同時也是僑委會的僑務諮詢委員，並名列中華民國建國100年慶祝活動籌備委員的六名僑界代表之一，黃正勝在台灣及澳洲從事房地產開發多年，生活富足，五年前生了一場大病，此後他對金錢觀完全改變，他體認到，賺錢不是為了累積更多財富，而是為了幫助更多有需要的人，「施比受更有福」，用錢助人，才是最大的快樂。僑委會委員長吳英毅在2010年頒贈象徵最高榮譽的一等華光專業獎章給他，表揚他長期回饋鄉土、熱心公益。
When Typhoon Morakot hit Taiwan, Huang donated AU$50,000 to help with reconstruction work, joining the overseas community in Australia to contribute more than NT$1.7 million. In addition to supporting green forestation at Sunshine Park in the Sindian District, he has funded a project to plant trees on the campuses of Jing-Guo Junior High School and Shulin Elementary School in Taoyuan County. And in December 2010, Huang and Lu Chi-chen, the president of the World Taiwanese Chambers of Commerce (WTCC), made a joint contribution through the OCAC to fund scholarships for outstanding overseas students.
在台灣發生莫拉克風災時，黃正勝捐了5萬澳幣幫助災後重建工作，並與澳洲僑界人士共同捐贈新台幣170餘萬元，在新店陽光公園進行綠化造林工作，他也認養桃園縣經國國中與樹林國小兩間學校，響應政府的「百校植樹愛台灣」計畫。
為嘉惠優秀僑生，世界台灣商會聯合總會總長盧起箴及同行的黃正勝在去年12月捐出獎學金，與僑委會同為僑生盡一份心力。
In January 2011, Huang donated NT$1 million to provide morale and support for military personnel stationed on Kinmen. And this past July, he donated NT$30 million to the WTCC to fund special projects. Huang has spent the past year traveling around the world to visit members of the Taiwanese business community. He was deeply touched to see that after achieving success in their own careers, many were quietly giving back to the community.
黃正勝今年1月捐出新台幣100萬做為慰勞金門國軍的款項，今年7月又捐出新台幣3000萬給世界台灣商會聯合總會會所基金管理委員會，做為會所專款。
黃正勝表示，在過去一年內，他跑遍了全球造訪台商，看到台商在僑居地辛苦打拼事業有成後，默默回饋社會，這種慈善的精神，他說，真是令人動容。
Currently, Huang is busy running for president of the WTCC. He said that membership is soaring and the organization is growing fast. If elected president, he hopes to revamp the WTCC to better serve Taiwanese businesspeople around the world.
目前黃正勝積極投入世界台灣商會聯合總會總會長選舉，他說，現在世界台商會聯合總會的會員數增加得很快，組織愈來愈龐大，他希望有機會上任，幫助總會轉型，同時為世界各地的台商服務。
