Strategies and Tools for Asian Pacific American (APA) Professional & Leadership Success
The Asian Pacific American (APA) population represents one of the fastest-growing in the United States and contributes to the nation’s rich fabric through areas such as culture, innovation, and professional productivity. APAs actually represent dozens of ethnicities, so we encompass both a larger collective and specific communities within the whole. When we look at the leadership of our nation, we clearly see a disparity between APAs’ contributions and their roles in these leadership positions. This ToolBook will catalyze change toward bridging that disconnect and empowering APA professionals. It also serves as a valuable resource for the champions who support APAs’ careers, growth, and overall success. APAs can elevate their professional and leadership development by utilizing the AugmentAsian ToolBook, and champions who support APAs can leverage these tools to boost inclusiveness, success, and productivity. We are better together, so let’s collaborate and thrive together.
