AAPI Celebrations and Observances deserve your DEIB attention!
/Still haven't identified a speaker for your AAPI celebrations in May? Has your organization not made space for AAPI-related issues and you're looking to change this? The good news is it's never too late! While supporting the contributions and influence of Asian Americans and Pacific Islander Americans to the history, culture, and achievements of the U.S. every day is important, May is a great starting point for a year-round Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging (DEIB) initiative to honor the Asian and Pacific Islander communities closest to you.
Let us help your organization grow in all aspects of DEIB!
