2025-2026 DISTRICT GOVERNOR Angel Peil 88th District Governor for District 4-L2 "From Legacy to Unity" Angel Peil was born in Taipei, Taiwan, and immigrated to the U.S. in the late 1980s with her family. She is a wife, a mother to a son, and twin daughters. Angel graduated from UC San Diego, which led her to take charge of the marketing department at EPIA Inc., working alongside her father, founder Eric Peil. After his unexpected passing in 2012, Angel stepped into the role of CEO overnight. Under her leadership, she not only maintained but also increased the number of satisfied customers. EPIA evolved from a health insurance specialist into a comprehensive benefits provider, expanding its services to include workers' compensation, property and commercial insurance, retirement planning, and more. The company now serves both small and large businesses, has earned numerous awards, and is a member of nationally renowned professional associations. Lions Community Involvement Following in her father's footsteps as a past charter president, Angel became a third-generation Lion. She was elected president of the Los Angeles Diamond Lions Club, leading 14 events in her first term. She later served as Zone Chair and was re-elected as club president in 2024. Currently, Angel was elected District Governor of Lions District 4-L2, 2025–26, becoming a trailblazer in uniting legacy and innovation. As DG, she oversees service initiatives that impact thousands, promotes leadership development among rising Lions, and fosters district-wide collaboration to elevate the reach of humanitarian efforts. Her strategic vision includes increasing youth engagement, building global service partnerships, and expanding support for underserved communities. Angel’s theme for her term is “From Legacy to Unity,” reflecting her commitment to honoring tradition while driving inclusive growth for the future of Lion. Under IPDG Scarlett’s leadership in 2023, Angel served as GET and GST, launching an inter-district backpack donation for over 1,000 children and a hunger donation event that served more than 750 families. She was the MC for several events featuring members of Congress and even the International President Dr. Patti Hill. She also helped organize a charitable concert that raised $70,000 for Taiwan earthquake relief, coordinated a disaster kit donation co-branded with Anthem Blue Cross, and encouraged children to volunteer for the Rose Parade Float. Most notably, she chartered a brand-new club within her district: the L.A. Industry Hills Lions Club. During DG Kaiser's year, she volunteered over 100 hours as the editor of his district handbook, helping complete its first edition. She also hosted International President Fabrício Oliviera at the annual Hunger Donation event, coordinating efforts with 25+ clubs to serve over 800 families. Additionally, she led vision screenings and facilitated pledges for various vision organizations. She was honored as a second-year Lions Float Inc. Ambassador, and her club’s Peace Poster entry won second place in all of California, MD4. Throughout her journey as a Lion, Angel has contributed in many ways. She founded her club’s Peace Poster and Student Speaker contests, revived the Blind Children Center project—donating more than $10,000—and served as the principal coordinator for a charitable premiere with DreamWorks Studios. She has chaired initiatives supporting disabled youth, is a Progressive Melvin Jones Fellow, and has coordinated over 300 volunteers for Rose Parade Float decoration efforts. Her contributions include donating 170,000 shoe covers to local hospitals and supporting various charitable organizations, such as Servant Arms, Helen Evans Home, local food banks, DelHaven Community Center, and Foothill Unity Center. Awards and Recognition Angel’s dedication has earned her several prestigious honors. She was recognized by a U.S. Congressperson as AAPI Entrepreneur of the Year and awarded the Challenge Coin by the L.A. Sheriff's Department at the L.A. Hall of Justice.

Taiwan, is an honorary past president of GFCBWSCC (a women's business association), and is a Golden Crown Award Winner & 2022 Judge.
