We are grateful for your leadership and support of the API Caucus! This year will be an exciting time for us and all of our members. We are looking forward to energizing and engaging voters, mobilizing the community, and elevating the API presence within the California Democratic Party. With Obama in office and the first Asian American family in the White House with his sister and brother-in-law, Maya and Konrad Ng, including three Asian Americans serving in the Cabinet, it is OUR TIME to empower ourselves, celebrate our community’s accomplishments, and raise our voices within the Democratic Party and be heard!

We have some great events in the pipeline including an upcoming Southern California networking mixer, and this new website has been created to serve you so please continue to visit us at www.apicaucus.com. You can also join our Facebook group for updates and more information on the API Caucus, upcoming meetings, special events, and outreach activities as we work to strengthen the API community. See at the CDP State Convention in 2010!

Sincerely,

Your API Caucus E-Board
