Huang Youyi, 59, is the current authority figure and Secretariat of the TAC. He is also the vice director and chief editor of the CIPG.

He is the director of the Senior Professional Title Evaluation Committee for Translation, a member of the English Experts Committee of the NAETI and director of the China National Committee for MTI Education. He was also an important member on the 3rd to 6th TAC Councils.

Huang founded the International Communication Translation Committee and the Forum of Translating from Chinese to Foreign Languages. He also played an important role in the 1st Asian Translators' Forum and made it the fixed communication mechanism in the Asian translation and interpreting community.

While serving as a FIT council member and vice president (2002-2011), Huang Youyi won the bid for the 18th FIT World Congress. This greatly enhanced the TAC's international influence, although Huang refuses to take sole credit for the TAC's success.
