GREETINGS Dear Trojan Family and Friends, On behalf of the USC Asian Pacific Alumni Association Board of Directors and our Gala Committee, thank you for joining us at our 2021 Scholarship & Awards Gala.

This evening, we celebrate our legacy, the contributions of our Trojan family and of our outstanding APAA scholars. These are challenging times for us all during the global pandemic, and we hope you are in good spirits and health! Now, more than ever, our students needs our support. And we need you.

We are truly grateful to the generous contributions of tonight’s sponsors and to all of you, which allows us to continue the critical mission of the APAA. We are humbled by your generosity, which helps transform student lives, impact their families and enhance our community.

Tonight we recognize four esteemed Trojans whose contributions helped, shape and impact our Asian Pacific legacy. Their exceptional accomplishments have a foundation built from giving and providing the support necessary to encourage our future generation.

We celebrate our scholars, who represent our next generation of leaders and visionaries. Their hard work and continued evolution are unmatched and we look forward to their contributions to society and impact to make a better tomorrow.

This evening would not be possible without the support of our Gala Committee, APAA Board of Directors, Cultural Relations and University Events, our APAA Scholars, and the APAA staff!

LEADERSHIP AWARD

SIDNEY KANAZAWA JD ’78 Mediator & Arbitrator, Alternative Resolution Centers, LLC Sidney Kanazawa is a mediator & arbitrator with the Alternative Resolution Centers, LLC (ARC) and the president-elect of the National Asian Pacific American Bar Association (NAPABA), which represents the more than 50,000 APAs in the legal profession. He is also a prolific author, speaker and teacher on conflict, bias, persuasion, trials, negotiation, crisis leadership and online mediation.

Over the course of his distinguished legal career, Kanazawa has helped many warring parties find quick and satisfactory solutions to seemingly intractable disputes. Before he became a full-time mediator in 2019, Kanazawa represented a Korean shipping company charged with causing the largest oil spill ever in the Port of Los Angeles.

Within three months, he had settled all 2,000+ claims that arose from the spill (600 within two weeks!) and seen to it that seven miles of contaminated shoreline were cleaned.

In 2017, while a partner with McGuireWoods LLP, Kanazawa and a team successfully petitioned the California Supreme Court to posthumously admit 1911 USC law graduate Sei Fujii to the California bar. A Japanese émigré, Fujii spent decades advocating for the civil rights of Asian immigrants, but he was legally excluded from practicing law in the United States due to his race and birthplace. Thanks to Kanazawa and his team, the California Supreme Court unanimously granted Fujii his law license—63 years after his death.

Born and raised in Honolulu, Hawaii, Kanazawa graduated from the USC Gould School of Law in 1978.

SERVICE AWARD

JULIE BENNIARDI ’91 Co-Founder, ReWeave L.A. Julie Benniardi is the founder of the interior design firm MGI and co-founder of the social impact start-up ReWeave L.A. She attributes her success to what she learned at USC, and has championed the university since graduating from the USC Marshall School of Business in 1991.

The consummate volunteer, Benniardi has given freely of her time, energy and expertise in support of a wide range of USC events and programs, including serving on the Class of 1991 25th Reunion Committee and regularly speaking to USC classes.

Benniardi also serves as the event chair for the USC Marshall Partners Greater L.A. Board.

In 2018, Benniardi used her background in avant-garde design to curate a memorable experience for the USC Marshall School’s Master of Science in Social Entrepreneurship Program: “Social Responsibility, by Design.” A partnership between USC Marshall and the Pacific Design Center, this event married her love of design to sustainability, and opened the door to collaboration with an industry seeking to become more socially responsible. With the guidance of Adlai Wertman, founding director of USC Marshall’s Brittingham Social Enterprise Lab, Benniardi co-founded ReWeave L.A., which upcycles high-end designer fabrics into home accessories. The design start-up’s goal is to end textile waste and invest in job training for Angelenos facing barriers to employment. ReWeave L.A.’s product line now includes one-of-a-kind apparel and pet pillows. The design start-up’s goal is to reduce textile waste and to date, ReWeave L.A. has saved more than five tons of fabric that would otherwise have gone into the landfill. In response to the pandemic, ReWeave L.A. began producing masks to support healthcare frontliners, including staff at USC Keck School of Medicine.

Benniardi and her husband, Edward, have two children, Maximillian (current Senior at USC) and Chloe.
