May is Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month—a celebration of Asians and Pacific Islanders in the United States. To help you appreciate and learn more about the diverse AAPI cultures and their rich history, our Asian Pacific Alliance of County Employees has prepared an AAPI Heritage Month calendar that you can use as inspiration. Mark your calendar!
In addition, APACE invites you to Amplify AAPI Voices. Grab your lunch and listen to Assistant Chief Administrative Officer Michael Vu’s stories that shaped what it means for him to be an Asian American on May 6 at noon. Share your personal stories or stories of community members “in order to shed a spotlight on all the amazing AAPI folks that make the County of San Diego shine.”
