2019 National Leadership Summit – The State of Us: AAPI Equity, Justice & Inclusion

Join us in New York on May 21, 2019 for AAPIP’s 2019 National Network Convening and Annual Meeting.

This year’s convening is designed as a special one-day leadership summit on the “The State of Us: AAPI Equity, Justice and Inclusion” that will bring together more than 125 funders and national AAPI nonprofit leaders who are dedicated to racial justice, policy advocacy, community organizing and other social change strategies addressing critical AAPI community disparities and needs.

The summit will be held at the newly re-opened Ford Foundation Center for Social Justice in New York City.

Participants will leave with new relationships, strategies, shared knowledge and inspiration for transformative philanthropy that expands and mobilizes resources for AAPI community.
