Asian Pacific American Coalition
APAC is a non-partisan group of concerned citizens who
are leaders in their respective Asian communities
volunteering their time and resources to work on the
behalf of Connecticut Asian Pacific Americans. Our current
efforts are aimed at the creation of a Connecticut
Asian Pacific American Affairs Commission that
would work to advise the Governor, the Legislature, state
agencies, departments, and commissions on issues
relating to the social, educational, health, economic
development, rights, concerns and interests of the APA
community.
