Since our founding in 2000, we continue to cultivate a rich space for building connections between established members in the philanthropic and non-profit sectors and those who are just entering it. From networking socials to educational events raising timely issues in the community, we have plenty of ways to plug in. We organize quarterly meetings open to anyone interested in being a part of a dynamic group of Asian American/Pacific Islander (AAPI) professionals who care about and want to improve the status of AAPI communities in our region.
