On May 2-3, 2024, The Asian American Foundation (TAAF) kicked off AANHPI Heritage Month and celebrated its third anniversary with the Third Annual TAAF Heritage Month Summit. This highly celebrated event brought together trailblazers, leaders, and advocates for conversations about urgent issues facing the AANHPI community. This year’s theme “Together We Build Power” celebrates our collective power and amplifies our efforts in creating impactful, lasting change across all industries including business, government, law, media, education and health care.

UCA President Haipei Shue, UCA WAVES Executive Director Lily Chen, Program Director Laura Liu, and Advisory Board Chair Justin Chen attended the Summit. They held productive discussions with many partners and were excited to learn about many inspiring new developments in the AANHPI nonprofit and advocacy space. They looked forward to sharing these learnings with the WAVES team.
