Our Programs

Be Together. Build Together. Better Together.

We cultivate authentic connections to empower AAPIs to succeed on their own terms.

Be Together.

We form supportive and trusting relationships among AAPIs to strengthen our sense of belonging.

Second Thursdays: AAPI Meet-ups

The Second Thursdays program brings together AAPI professionals to socialize, hear from local leaders, and learn about upcoming events and opportunities. Every month, we celebrate local businesses owned by Asian and Pacific Islander Americans, especially restaurants, as anchors of the APIA community in the region.

Community Builders

The Community Builders program helps members host small group activities to develop relationships beyond our resumes. From board games to hikes, we strive to make it easier for Asian and Pacific Islander Americans to form meaningful connections through shared experiences. Cultivating a sense of belonging is step one in our chapter's approach to a region where all opportunities for AAPI to advance are unlocked.

Build Together.

We promote bold, vulnerable, and AAPI-driven dialogue and learning to elevate our best selves.
