Mr. Speaker, Claims · 272 wordsI rise today to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Asian Pacific American Public Affairs organization. For 25 years, this dynamic organization has been a leading voice for advancing meaningful civic causes in our region. APAPA has provided leadership, engagement in public affairs, and community building for Asian Pacific communities throughout their 21 chapters across California, including chapters in Folsom and Sacramento.¹ The founders, C.C. and Regina Yin, established APAPA in 2001 as a way to empower communities through robust civic engagement and providing opportunities to grow the area’s next generation of leaders.² As successful businessowners, they have generously given back to our region to support many community and nonprofit events, many of which they have hosted at their Yin ranch. They also continue to serve on the national governing board of APAPA. Over two decades ago, APAPA opened its national headquarters in Sacramento.³ This proximity to the State capitol was a natural fit to provide opportunities to engage with State legislators, host public policy events, and run a national internship program to inspire the next generation of leaders. This includes APAPA’s Youth Leadership Academy, which is designed to inspire and prepare the next generation of high school leaders. This ambitious program’s goal is to equip 1,500 high school students annually with the necessary skills to be leaders in their communities through hands-on learning opportunities.⁴ This program is led and coordinated by APAPA in conjunction with local educational agencies. APAPA’s headquarters and many regional chapters host educational and civic forums to connect communities with leaders at all levels of government to provide meaningful conversations between government officials and the people they represent. Thanks · 36 wordsOn behalf of the United States House of Representatives and California’s Third Congressional District, I am honored to join the community to recognize the Asian Pacific American Public Affairs organization for 25 years of civic leadership, ThanksPromise · 13 wordsand I look forward to many more years of their very important work.
