To celebrate Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, APIAVote is kicking off the Norman Y. Mineta Leadership Institute (NYMLI) Speaker Series in Washington, D.C. This Speaker Series will bolster our NYM Leadership Institute, by bringing the dialogue about AAPI political involvement and political participation to a national stage. Chaired by the Honorable Norman Y. Mineta, NYMLI's mission is to increase the leadership and organizing capacity of AAPI communities by training and equipping leaders with the skills to successfully engage AAPIs in electoral campaigns.

Register now for the first of our "Norman Y. Mineta Leadership Institute Speaker Series" sessions.  On May 3, participate in a conversation at "The New Faces of Leadership", where we will be highlighting new leadership in the current Administration. Secretary Norman Mineta hosts a discussion with Secretary Gary Locke, Department of Commerce (confirmed), Secretary Steven Chu, Department of Energy (invited), Assistant Secretary Tammy Duckworth, Department of Veterans Affairs (confirmed) and other policy leaders as they  discuss opportunities and challenges they encounter in their work in the Administration and with AAPI communities.  Reception to follow.

Can't make the event?  We will be livestreaming (and live-tweeting) the event as well.  Sign up to host a watch party with some friends.
