The Council on Asian Pacific Minnesotans is excited to announce that after a hiatus of several years, this September we are excited to present the return of the Asian Pacific Minnesotans Leadership Awards Dinner!
A Gathering of Communities
The Leadership Awards Dinner will bring together leaders from across Minnesota’s Asian and Pacific Islander communities as well as our local and state government, faith, for-profit, and non-profit sectors for a celebration themed “Democracy in the time of COVID.” In a time marked by ongoing political division, public health and safety concerns, and bias toward Asian Pacific ancestry individuals, the Leadership Awards Dinner celebrates the many contributions made by Asian Pacific Minnesotans and the strength and resiliency they have demonstrated during the COVID-19 pandemic.
