An Evening with AAPIP’s New Leader

Connie Chung Joe became AAPIP’s President and CEO in August last year. She’s spending her first year visiting AAPIP chapters across the country, and this spring, she’s coming to Chicago.

This reception is part of Connie’s ongoing listening tour: a chance for her to hear directly from AANHPI professionals working in philanthropy across the Midwest and greater Chicago region and for you to meet the new leader guiding AAPIP’s impact to meet the current moment.

Remarks, Data, and Good Company

The evening includes brief remarks, a preview of AAPIP’s regional funding snapshot for Chicago, and plenty of time to connect with peers over food and drinks.

The funding snapshot offers a concrete, data-driven look at how philanthropic dollars are reaching (or not reaching) AANHPI organizations in your region. Attendees will be the first to see this data to help guide your own institutional conversations.

Space is limited to 70 guests. Registration by invitation only. If you would like to attend, please reach out to membership@aapip.org.
