Founder’s Welcome

Welcome to the AANHPI Consortium! It is an honor to bring together such an extraordinary group of leaders, professionals, and advocates who are committed to advancing the voices of Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander communities. When I envisioned the AANHPI Consortium, it was with the belief that our collective experiences, talents, and strengths could create lasting impact and meaningful change. This event is a testament to that vision, providing a space where we can collaborate, learn from one another, and take action to shape the future of our communities.

Over the course of this gathering, you will have the opportunity to engage with inspiring thought leaders, participate in transformative workshops, and connect with peers who share a commitment to advancing equity and representation. As a leader, I’ve learned that true empowerment comes from bringing our full selves—our identities, cultures, and unique experiences—to the table. This is your moment to do just that. Our diverse perspectives are not only our strength but also the key to shaping a more inclusive world.

Thank you for being part of this incredible journey. Together, we will create new opportunities, challenge outdated norms, and pave the way for future generations of AANHPI leaders. I am excited to see the conversations that will unfold, the connections that will be made, and the change that will result from our collective efforts. Welcome, and I look forward to what we will accomplish together.

Regards,

Dennis Kennedy
