The Asian Pacific American Network of Oregon held its first retreat in five years, hosting more than 60 attendees. Participants from a diverse contingent of Asian Pacific Islander communities -- Hmong, Nikkei, Filipino, Cambodian, Vietnamese, Samoan, Korean adoptees, Chinese, Thai, Lao, Persian, biracial folks, and ma...ny others -- came together to discuss issues of importance to Pan-Asian communities. Subcommittees were formed to develop strategies to organize a broad and cohesive Pan-Asian coalition to advocate for the needs of Asian Pacific Islander Americans. New board members were elected to serve three-, two-, and one-year terms.

Thanks and kudos to Joseph and Aimee Santos-Lyons, and the rest of the APANO leadership for organizing the event that brought together many groups to talk about issues of common interest and impact.
