林貴香女士曾任僑務委員、也擔任世界臺灣商會聯合總會第24屆總會長以及北美洲台灣商會聯合總會第22屆總會長。
旅居聖荷西己經有四十七年，她平日忙於自身的房地產仲介、土地投資開發、杏仁豆果園的經營管理外，她也非常熱心慈善公益，參與社區服務工作。並教導爵士舞超過三十六年，早期成立的爵士舞群，都在灣區的各大集會或各主要社團的慶㑹，作慈善義演。2001年林貴香應台北國際排舞協會會長彭蘇進的邀請，擔任該協會的榮譽總教練，教導他們的種子教練新排舞。2003年會同該協會，在天母運動公園，創下跳排舞人數最多6875人，時間最長13分鐘的金氏世界紀錄。她有鑒於排舞運動在世界各地蔚為風氣，而於2004年，創辦美國加州排舞協會，並於同年四月申請到美國聯邦與加州政府認可的501C-3非牟利組織。這將近二十年來在金山灣區積極推展此一有益身心健康的排舞全民運動，擁有會員將近三千人。
林貴香對於排舞極為熱衷，她自編自導排舞，配上最美的音樂節奏，舞出最優美活潑的舞姿，將舞蹈注入活力、生命力。
她認為排舞運動可以增進健康，會員之間增進友誼，讓許多面臨更年期、空巢期、憂鬱症的婦女們，有一個強健身心靈的舞台，透過排舞帶給大家，生活增添樂趣而多姿多彩。
林貴香總會長在其任內的另一項創舉；就是結合世界臺商海外地區商會的會員、以及美國加州排舞協會的會員等共計兩百餘人，應僑務委員會之邀請，在2018年雙十國慶的慶典，列隊在總統府廣場前，兩百人以跳排舞的隊型通過司令臺。為國慶大典増添光彩，也為從世界各地返回的舞者，增添人生無比榮耀的一頁和珍貴的體驗。
美國加州排舞協會在COVID-19疫情期間，依然透過Zoom在綱上教學，除了遍佈灣區的會員外，只要能夠加入綱站的全球各地愛好排舞的人士，都能受益。2023年元月加州疫情解除後，美國加州排舞協會就在總部開放一星期七天的排舞課程。學員陸續回籠，互道平安，又恢復到以往的盛況。本協會堅信排舞是一項簡單有趣的運動，不須舞伴，不限年齡，老少咸宜，大家都能參加並持久的跳下去！美國加州排舞協會的共同創辦人，李節操，鄭亞瑾，葛光愛，林斯琦都兼任排舞教練，她們都非常熱衷於社區服務並付諸行動，教舞之餘也經常參與義演，充分發揚美國加州排舞協會的精神兼口號：舞出健康，舞出快樂，舞出燦爛的人生！網站：WWW.CLDAA.ORG
