The Southeast Asian Ministers of Education Organization (SEAMEO) is a regional intergovernmental organization established in 1965 among governments of Southeast Asian countries to promote regional cooperation in education, science, and culture. Vietnam was re-admitted as a SEAMEO Member Country in 1992 by the SEAMEO Council, and SEAMEO RETRAC began operations in October 1996. The Center has constantly been developing and carrying out a variety of activities for educational administrators at all levels; being a leading center for English language teaching in Ho Chi Minh City; developing different training, research projects, community service events, international cooperation, and information exchange; fostering and improving the capacity of teachers, lecturers, and educational administrators in Vietnam as well as in Southeast Asia.

As a Program Officer in International Development, Chau Luu's scope of work focused on being the bridge of communication between SEAMEO RETRAC and the Southeast Asian Ministers of Education Organization (SEAMEO) itself, the SEAMEO Secretariat, and other sister SEAMEO Centers/Network. Furthermore, she was at the same time responsible for organizing meetings and visits of regional and international high officials, administrators, experts, researchers in education, and SEAMEO RETRAC's partners to the Center as well as maintaining the Center's international relations with key partners and organizations in education, educational leadership and management, and related specializations. Chau Luu also coordinated, organized, and facilitated the Center's activities in education and educational leadership and management such as training, workshops, seminars, symposium, and conferences with the participation of leaders, administrators, lecturers, and teachers of educational institutes in response to situational needs in the Southeast Asia region and beyond.
