PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Dear AAPI Chamber Members and Supporters, As we progress through the year, August brings with it a renewed sense of excitement and momentum for our Chamber. I’m delighted to announce that we’ve secured new sponsors who are deeply committed to supporting our mission of empowering the AA&NHPI business community. Please join me in welcoming the Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada, Wells Fargo, Bank of America, and Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix to our ever-growing family of partners. Their support not only highlights the significance of our work but also underscores the strength of our collective efforts.

These partnerships will allow us to expand our initiatives, provide even more resources, and create new opportunities for our members. From networking events to educational workshops, we’re dedicated to equipping you with the tools and connections needed to thrive in today’s business environment.

August is also a time for reflection and forward planning. Our recent initiatives, including the launch of the Women's Committee, and Membership Committee and our ongoing leadership programs, continue to elevate our community, ensuring that every voice is heard and valued.

This month marks the one-year anniversary of our Chamber’s launch. To celebrate, I invite all of you to join us at our One-Year Anniversary celebration at our new office on Friday, September 6, from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. looking ahead, I’m eager to see the impact our new sponsors will have on our upcoming events and programs. I encourage each of you to take full advantage of what’s to come—whether by participating in our events, connecting with fellow members, or leveraging the resources we offer.

Thank you for your unwavering support and dedication to our Chamber. Together, with the backing of our new and existing sponsors, we are poised to achieve even greater success in the months ahead.

Here’s to a prosperous and impactful second half of 2024!
