There's been a lot of excitement about the three Asian American Cabinet Secretaries, but there are plenty of other AAPI's who have also secured positions in the Obama Administration. APAP is going keep track of these names and give you periodic updates. And don't worry if you haven't gotten your name in yet. There are still plenty of other positions to fill. Here are some of the names that we have gathered so far. Please continue to send news/appointments to PatriceYao@apaforprogress.org

• Steven Chu - Secretary, Dept. of Energy
• Eric Shinseki - Secretary, Dept. of Veteran Affairs
• Gary Locke- Secretary Nominee, Dept. of Commerce

For a few more names, join us after the flip:

Most people have heard about Steven Chu being named Secretary of Energy and Eric Shinseki getting the Secretary of Veteran Affairs, but there are over 8,000 jobs to be filled in the Obama Administration and AAPI's are being named to some of those. APAP is currently compiling a list of AAPI's who have secured positions in the White House. Starting next Friday, we'll be providing bi-weekly updates on some of these people and their roles. So come check out the list. And if you know of anyone we should have listed, please let us know. You can send updates to PatriceYao@apaforprogress.org To read more about Steven Chu and Eric Shinseki, join us on the other side.
