The Asian American / Asian Research Institute (AAARI), of the City University of New York (CUNY), will convene a conference in which over 200 academicians and community practitioners will discuss the impact of the record number of Asian Americans who ran for and won political office in the 2009 NYC metropolitan area elections on civic engagement in the Asian American community.
This talk focuses on the importance of leadership development within the Asian American community, exploring strategies for empowering individuals to take on roles in politics, business, and social activism. It emphasizes the need for strong role models and mentorship to cultivate future leaders who can address community challenges and promote positive change.
This event explores the roles of Asian Americans in civic engagement, coalition building, and political leadership through keynote addresses, panel discussions, and interactive sessions. It brings together community leaders, elected officials, and advocates to examine strategies for empowerment and participation in New York City’s diverse communities.
