SUMMARY:LEAP: Leadership Experience and Celebration: Currents of Change (in Los Angeles)
DESCRIPTION:Currents of Change is a two-day immersive leadership experience that brings together Asian and Pacific Islander (API) leaders and community members across sectors to convene and navigate the evolution of leadership. Building on a legacy of resilience\, this series invites participants to explore how today’s leaders are shaping the future with purpose\, adaptability\, and vision. Through connection and action\, Currents of Change empowers individuals to embrace transformation toward a more inclusive\, forward looking\, and dynamic tomorrow. \nThis year’s LEC theme\, Currents of Change\, invites us to ask what it means to lead through uncertainty – not just by reacting to change\, but by shaping what comes next. Across two days\, attendees will engage in workshops and experiences designed to strengthen how we lead ourselves\, our teams\, and our communities\, including: \nWORKSHOPS: \n\n\n\n\n\nBREAKING FREE | LEADING BEYOND THE SPELL\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJULY 15 | 11:10AM-12:20PM | LOCATION TBD \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFACILITATED BY | DR. FATIMA BUSTOS-CHOY \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nINTENDED FOR | ALL PROFESSIONALS \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis workshop explores the hidden beliefs\, inherited narratives\, and systemic influences that shape leadership beneath the surface. Using the “spell” as a powerful metaphor\, this workshop invites participants to examine the “root of the root” of how fear\, self-doubt\, over-accommodation\, and disconnection from identity can affect how they lead. Guided by the Five SoulSteps™ —Awareness\, Acceptance\, Awakening\, Arising\, and Actualizing—participants will begin moving from hidden conditioning toward more grounded\, authentic\, courageous\, and conscious leadership. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nABOUT DR. FATIMA BUSTOS-CHOY \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDEVELOPING MORAL COURAGE | SPEAKING UP EFFECTIVELY IN MOMENTS OF BIAS\, POWER IMBALANCE\, AND INEQUITY\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJULY 15 | 11:10AM-12:20PM | LOCATION TBD \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFACILITATED BY | HAYDEN LEE \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nINTENDED FOR | MID-SENIOR LEVEL AND EXECUTIVE PROFESSIONALS \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLeaders often face moments where bias\, privilege\, and power dynamics emerge in real time. This interactive session equips participants with practical tools and strategies to recognize these moments\, act with integrity\, and speak up effectively. Through reflective exercises and scenario-based practice\, leaders will build confidence\, strengthen their moral courage\, and develop skills to navigate high-stakes interactions while fostering inclusive\, accountable\, and high-performing teams. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nABOUT HAYDEN LEE \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSTRATEGIC FRAMING FOR INFLUENCE AND LEADERSHIP IMPACT\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJULY 15 | 11:10AM-12:20PM | LOCATION TBD \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFACILITATED BY | CHINGCHA VANG \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nINTENDED FOR | NEW TO MID-LEVEL PROFESSIONALS \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis interactive workshop introduces framing as a way to clarify intention\, audience\, and impact while also developing greater awareness of organizational power\, informal influence\, and decision-making pathways. Participants will learn how to apply framing not only to communicate more effectively\, but to navigate complex environments with greater strategic awareness and intention. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nABOUT CHINGCHA VANG \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNAVIGATING CROSSCURRENTS | BRAIN EDUCATION-BASED SELF-LEADERSHIP FOR CLARITY\, EQUITY\, AND ADAPTIVITY\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJULY 16 | 12:00PM-1:10PM | LOCATION TBD \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFACILITATED BY | HOPE IHM \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nINTENDED FOR | ALL PROFESSIONALS \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDesigned for leaders at all levels\, this session provides accessible\, practical tools that can be immediately applied in professional and community contexts. By strengthening internal competencies such as self-awareness\, self-regulation\, and self-motivation\, participants will be better equipped to navigate complexity\, build trust\, and lead with authenticity and effectiveness in times of change. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nABOUT HOPE IHM \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPOWER\, GATEKEEPING\, AND ACCOUNTABILITY\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJULY 16 | 12:00PM-1:10PM | LOCATION TBD \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFACILITATED BY | FARAH BALA \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis is a crucial topic to explore and measure our relationship to power and build equitability and inclusive system. All leaders use power in different ways as they become gatekeepers of their teams\, divisions or organizations. It covers the key concepts of decision making that creates either an inclusive or oppressive organizational culture. A conscious use of Power can be used as a force for good\, deepening inclusion and psychological safety for all. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nINTENDED FOR | EXECUTIVE PROFESSIONALS \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nABOUT FARAH BALA \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCURRENTS OF CHANGE | ARE YOU LEADING THE CHANGE OR JUST SURVIVING THE DAY?\n\n\n\n\n\nJULY 16 | 12:00PM-1:10PM | LOCATION TBD \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFACILITATED BY | STEVE TERUSAKI \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nINTENDED FOR | ALL PROFESSIONALS \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn an era of relentless disruption\, leaders often mistake activity for progress. This high-impact\, 50-minute “sprint” workshop empowers participants to move beyond reactive firefighting and reclaim their strategic edge. Utilizing the Importance x Urgency Matrix\, leaders will audit their current decision-making habits and engage in a high-pressure simulation to master the “Strategic No.” By connecting internal prioritization with external horizon scanning\, participants will build the cognitive capacity required to navigate uncertainty\, ensuring they lead the change rather than simply surviving the day.

SUMMARY:Conference: The New Asian NYC: Mobilization\, Grassroots Power & Pluralistic Futures
DESCRIPTION:Exploring grassroots power & Asian American futures in NYC after Zohran Mamdani’s historic election.\n\n\nThe recent election of Zohran Mamdani—the city’s first Muslim and South Asian mayor—marks a historic shift in New York City’s political landscape. This victory stands not only as a milestone for AAPI and Muslim representation but as a testament to the power of grassroots\, working-class organizing. While often characterized as the “Mamdani Moment\,” this campaign’s trajectory from just 3% in early polling offers a profound case study in the collective “social technology” of door-to-door engagement and the merging of diverse identities. \nBuilding from this watershed moment\, AAARI’s 2026 symposium\, The New Asian NYC: Mobilization\, Grassroots Power & Pluralistic Futures\, invites a deeper conversation about what such victories reveal—how they reshape understandings of Asian American identity\, highlight the intersections of class and race\, and chart evolving strategies for civic engagement in an increasingly polarized era.

SUMMARY:5th Annual AAPI Against Gun Violence Coalition Convening - Wash DC
DESCRIPTION:Washington\, D.C. | June 11–12\, 2026 \nWe invite you to join us in D.C. for the 5th Annual AAPI Against Gun Violence Coalition Convening\, hosted at the National Education Association. \nSchedule: \nJune 11: 8:30 AM – 7 PM (Reception at APIAVote Office 5–7 PM)\nJune 12: 8:30 AM – 2 PM\nRegister Today! \nGun violence has become a concern among the AAPI community\, especially after growing incidents of hate crimes targeting the AAPI community during and after the COVID pandemic. APIAVote is attending this convention to promote the “Vote Without Fear” Act\, a piece of legislation to keep firearms at least 100 yards away from polling places. APIAVote also wants to gain perspective on the AAPI community’s thoughts\, opinions\, and concerns on gun violence; how they respond when faced with the threat of gun violence\, and how to build solidarity and awareness among AAPI community members around the issue of gun violence. \nThis year’s theme\, “Freedom From Gun Violence\,” will examine gun violence as both a public safety and civil rights and democracy issue. Leaders across AAPI\, Black\, Latino\, and other communities will come together to explore the intersections of gun violence with racism\, immigration\, enforcement\, democratic participation\, and state accountability. \nThis convening will: \n\nLaunch a new “Freedom from Gun Violence” messaging framework that connects safety\, civil rights\, and democratic participation\nExamine a legislative strategy at the federal and state levels\nExamine how racism\, fear-based politics\, and disinformation fuel gun proliferation\nElevate the voices of survivors and communities directly impacted\nStrengthen cross-racial solidarity to build durable power for change\nAccording to Giffords\, 57% of Asian parents are concerned about their child being a victim of gun violence.\nA study in the National Library of Medicine\, found that Asian Americans who perceived more cultural racism were more likely to purchase a gun and that COVID-19 exacerbated these issues\, thus raising rates of firearm ownership in the Asian American community\nA recent survey from APIAVote shows that Asian American voters are most concerned about gun violence when it comes to safety\, mostly stemming from fear of anti-Asian hate crimes\, school shootings\, and general crime.\nEfforts to prevent gun violence at polls have made it to Congress\, with California\nRepresentative Raul Ruiz proposing H.R.7965 or the “Vote Without Fear” Act\, restricting firearm ownership within 100 feet of a polling site.\nWe look forward to seeing you!

DESCRIPTION:CryptoAI Summit 2026 is the premier forum exploring the strategic convergence of AI and Blockchain\, organized by Bitpush and China Institute of America.

The summit dissects global competition\, the recalibration of market valuations\, and the structural tensions between unprecedented efficiency and the systemic “bubbles” of rapid automation. Simultaneously\, the summit deconstructs the maturing Crypto landscape. We analyze the evolution of institutional market cycles and the definitive shift toward real-world adoption and on-chain financial logic. By bridging these two forces\, the summit investigates whether the union of AI and Crypto is a fundamental necessity for decentralized intelligence or a critical alignment for the next era of global digital infrastructure. \nCI members can receive a complimentary ticket with code CIFREE.

SUMMARY:APAICS Health Summit
DESCRIPTION:On March 25th\, the 2026 APAICS Health Summit will air virtually. The APAICS Health Summit brings together frontline workers\, community and corporate leaders\, subject matter experts\, and elected officials for bipartisan policy discussions on issues that affect our communities and the nation at-large. The Summit will explore topics such as representation in healthcare and research\, and healthcare accessibility for our community. \nAttendees will:\n\n\n\nHear from state and federal elected officials to stay informed on legislative priorities and policy shifts\nGain insights from subject-matter experts and community advocates on top issues like access and affordability\nDeepen their awareness of critical health issues impacting our country and communities\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFeatured Speakers\n\n\n\n\nThe 2026 Health Summit will feature Congressional leaders\, including Sen. Mazie Hirono (HI)\, Rep. Ted Lieu (CA-36)\, Rep. Doris Matsui (CA-07)\, Rep. Pramila Jayapal (WA-07)\, Rep. Jill Tokuda (HI-02)\, and Rep. Amata Coleman Radewagen(American Samoa). \n\nPanel Preview\n\n\nFrom Data to Decisions: Equity and AA & NH/PI Health\n\n\nAggregated health data often masks the vast diversity within AA & NH/PI communities\, obscuring unique health risks\, disparities\, and access gaps across subgroups. This panel will spotlight why disaggregated data is not just a data‑tech issue but a critical lever for improving health outcomes\, particularly as AI becomes more integrated in healthcare. Experts and practitioners will discuss how better data can improve culturally attuned and preventative care\, and how its absence can perpetuate invisibility and inequity. \n\n\nThe Care We Need: Building a Strong Health Workforce\n\n\nAmid growing national shortages\, the health workforce pipeline continues to fall short for AA & NH/PI communities—especially in mental health\, where limited representation undermines access to culturally competent care. This panel explores how the provider shortage strains both patients and the few clinicians serving them\, deepening burnout and widening equity gaps. Leaders across education\, policy\, and healthcare will discuss bold strategies to rebuild a thriving workforce and reimagine a care system that truly meets communities where they are. \n\n\n\n\n\nFrom Guam to Flushing: Mapping Health Disparities Across Our Communities\n\n\n\n\n\nHealth outcomes are shaped by a multitude of factors\, from geography to age\, to the unique challenges faced by rural and island communities. This panel will explore how elements like remote location\, elder care needs\, chronic disease management\, and limited healthcare infrastructure can lead to disparities for certain communities. Panelists\, including community advocates\, rural‑health policymakers\, and care providers\, will discuss strategies to tailor solutions\, build sustainable access networks\, and leverage support to help all communities thrive\, regardless of where they are located. \n\n\nThe Access and Affordability Question: Coverage\, Costs\, and the Future of Care\n\n\nAs Congress debates the future of federal health legislation\, the pending expiration of enhanced ACA subsidies threatens to widen existing gaps in coverage and affordability for AA & NH/PI communities. This panel will examine how rising prescription drug costs and shifting market dynamics intersect with subsidy loss\, changes to Medicaid\, and overhauls to vaccine schedules\, reshaping access to care and the broader medical landscape. Leaders from health systems\, community organizations\, and industry will discuss strategies to protect affordability and ensure coverage moving forward for our communities.

Jeung\, whose scholarship and activism have shaped national conversations on race\, religion\, and justice. \nThis spring\, Brooklyn College invites the campus community and the public to gather for Hess Week 2026\, a powerful three-day series exploring Asian American lives\, rights\, civil liberties\, faith\, storytelling\, mental health\, and movements for racial justice. At the center of this week is our 2025–26 Robert L. Hess Scholar-in-Residence\, Professor Russell M. Jeung from the Asian American Studies Department at San Francisco State University\, and co-founder of Stop AAPI Hate. He is a leading sociologist of race\, immigration\, and religion. Over the last 25 years his groundbreaking research on Asian American communities has shaped the fields of Asian American Studies and Sociology of Religion. \n\n\nMar 2026\n\n\n\nTue17\n\n\n\n\n\n11:00 am – 12:00 pm \nHess Week 2026 Welcome Ceremomy\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2:15 pm – 3:30 pm \nThe Lives\, Rights\, and Civil Liberties of Asian Americans in an Age of Mass Deportation\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWed18\n\n\n\n\n\n11:00 am – 12:15 pm \nBelief and Belonging: Faith Communities and Justice\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2:15 pm – 3:30 pm \nRecuperating Collective Stories: Writing Chinese American Memoirs\n\n\n\n\n\n\n3:40 pm – 4:55 pm \nHess Week 2026: Struggling\, Surviving\, Thriving—Asian American Mental Health\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThu19\n\n\n\n\n\n11:00 am – 12:15 pm \nAsian American Movements for Racial Justice: Resistance and Solidarity – The 2026 Robert L. Hess Memorial Lecture\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHess Week begins on March 17 at 11 a.m. with a Welcome Ceremony honoring Jeung’s arrival on campus. The event brings together leading scholars and public intellectuals\, including Carolyn Chen\, Jerry Park\, and David Kim\, to reflect on the importance of scholarship that bridges research\, community engagement\, and social transformation. \nLater that afternoon (2:15–3:30 p.m.)\, the panel “The Lives\, Rights\, and Civil Liberties of Asian Americans in an Age of Mass Deportation” examines how contemporary immigration politics and policies are reshaping Asian American communities—and how solidarities are forming across immigrant groups. Featuring voices from law\, faith-based organizing\, and community advocacy\, this conversation centers the urgent realities facing families and communities today. \nOn March 18\, Hess Week turns toward faith\, story\, and healing. In the morning (11 a.m.–12:15 p.m.)\, “Belief and Belonging: Faith Communities and Justice” explores how religious communities have become sites of resistance\, refuge\, and organizing in the struggle for immigrant dignity and human rights. \nIn the afternoon (2:15–3:30 p.m.)\, “Recuperating Collective Stories: Writing Chinese American Memoirs” brings together memoirist Ava Chin and Professor Jeung to reflect on memory\, migration\, and the power of storytelling to reclaim erased histories across generations and coasts. The day concludes (3:40–4:55 p.m.) with “Struggling\, Surviving\, Thriving—Asian American Mental Health\,” a timely and deeply needed conversation on the socio-emotional and developmental challenges facing Asian American adolescents and college students\, featuring leading scholars and clinicians including Clarissa S.L. Cheah and Cindy Liu. \nHess Week culminates on March 19 (11 a.m.–12:15 p.m.) with the 2026 Robert L. Hess Memorial Lecture\, delivered by Professor Jeung: “Asian American Movements for Racial Justice: Resistance and Solidarity.” The lecture traces the long arc of Asian-American organizing—from survival to coalition-building—and invites the campus community to imagine new possibilities for justice in the present moment. \nAcross three days\, Hess Week 2026 tells a collective story: of communities under pressure\, of faith and culture as sources of belonging\, of memory as resistance\, of mental health as justice\, and of movements that insist on dignity in the face of exclusion. We invite students\, staff\, faculty\, and community members to join us for these conversations and be part of this shared work of learning\, care\, and solidarity. \nAll events are open to the public. Add the events to your calendar and join us for Hess Week 2026. \nAbout Hess Week \nHess Week at Brooklyn College is an annual series of events hosted by the Ethyle R. Wolfe Institute for the Humanities that features a distinguished Scholar-in-Residence. The week includes public lectures\, panels\, and seminars\, highlighted by the Robert L. Hess Memorial Lecture\, focusing on critical social\, political\, or academic themes. \n  \nhttps://libguides.brooklyn.cuny.edu/wolfe2025/hessweek \nHess Week 2026 at Brooklyn College: Asian American Lives in a Time of Crisis and Care
