Welcome to the 5th annual Silicon Valley AAPI Civic Leadership Summit! We are so excited that you are joining us today. The theme for this year's Summit is:
The Multiverse
Today, multiple presents, realities, and truths will collide. We will explore the different realities of AAPIs in critical issue areas such as LGBTQ+ discrimination, affirmative action, and health/well-being. It is our imperative to acknowledge the diverse views that contribute to increasingly complex narratives within AAPI communities and the challenges that arise in our advocacy work.Together, we strive to build a space where we can convene current and aspiring community leaders to educate and challenge one another as we serve and support the AAPI community and beyond.Please save this link in your browser. This will be your program for today's event.
