Founder’s Welcome
Throughout my career, I have seen firsthand the power of community and the transformative impact of mentorship and advocacy. AAPI First is not just an organization—it’s a movement. It’s about elevating our voices, creating opportunities for leadership, and driving meaningful change in our workplaces and communities. Together, we can build bridges, break barriers, and inspire the next generation of AAPI leaders.
Thank you for being a part of this journey. I invite you to engage with our events, connect with peers, and take advantage of the resources we offer. Let’s work together to create a future where our identities are not just accepted but celebrated. Welcome to AAPI First—where your story, your voice, and your leadership matter.
