During the summit, participants will:
Establish a space where community leaders can inform the Obama Administration about issues of concern to the AAPI community;
Learn about federal resources and programs available and develop solutions to address these issues; and
Develop opportunities for community leaders to inform one another about innovative approaches to meet the needs of AAPI communities across the country.
