Where: Daniels Fund, 101 Monroe St, Denver

This professional event is FREE but space is limited. Please RSVP at rsvp@naaapcolorado.org
Objective:
The success of existing and future Asian businesses in Colorado is dependant in large part on the support they receive from the Asian community. While the richness and diversity of cultures that exist in the Asian community enable Asian American professionals to have broader perspectives, they also present challenges to successfully benefit and marry Asian businesses and community. We have to identify the common threads that exist in our community and leverage our strengths for leadership development, entrepreneurship and community services to further advance the Asian communities.

The National Association of Asian American Professionals (NAAAP), the Asian Pacific American Bar Association (APABA), Prudential Financial and Asian Chamber of Commerce will be co-hosting an interactive panel session. This panel will explore various concepts related to developing methods to leverage our collective strengths to provide our community with a greater political and economic voice; and how businesses benefit from unifying our community.
