The community we live in is a vital part of our everyday lives. Taiwanese American Professionals (TAP-SF) is partnering with National Association of Asian American Professionals (NAAAP-SF) to present to you ‘Asian American Leaders in Government’. Here is your chance to meet local Asian American Leaders in government and ask them questions in a panel discussion about local issues, how they’ve developed their careers, and how Asian Americans can be more involved in government. This is a great opportunity to hear their candid feedback on various issues that will affect our everyday lives.
This is your opportunity to see your fellow Asian leaders and hear how they are going to support you in your community. Contact Eli.Kuo@tap-sf.org if you have questions.
