Chandler Chamber hosting free AAPI roundtable

Join the Chandler Chamber of Commerce at a free event that welcomes local Asian-American and Pacific Islander leaders to speak on the Arizona Asian experience.

The roundtable is set for Tuesday, May 21, 8 a.m. to 9:30 a.m., at the ASU Chandler Innovation Center, 249 E. Chicago Street in Downtown Chandler.

The speakers' insight is intended to help you improve your workplace by recognizing and overcoming AAPI stereotypes, by celebrating local AAPI community members and by sharing a crash course on intercultural communication.

Scheduled speakers at the roundtable include Jason Wong, founder and president of Asian Corporate & Entrepreneur Leaders;  Arizona State University students Elaina Prakish and Blake Su and Hamilton High School student Nina Yu.

Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders are the third-largest ethnic group in Chandler, spearheading innovation throughout our East Valley community.

Even though the event is free, register here to allow organizers to estimate how many people will attend.
