RISE ERG Celebrates AAPI Heritage Month with a Lunch & Learn and Community Volunteerism

Programming example

Honored to celebrate Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month through community, culture, and connection. 🌏✨RISE was proud to host Nu Huynh, Executive Director of the Iowa Asian Alliance, for a Lunch & Learn discussion highlighting the importance of representation, community engagement, and celebrating the rich diversity of Asian and Pacific Islander communities across Iowa. Under Nu’s leadership, the Iowa Asian Alliance continues to unite communities through cultural events like CelebrAsian, Iowa’s annual Asian Heritage Festival.I’m also grateful to have had the opportunity to volunteer at CelebrAsian alongside colleagues from American Equity. Huge shoutout to American Equity for supporting this work through community volunteerism, partnering with local organizations, and donating to the Iowa Asian Alliance.Experiences like these are such an important reminder of how culture, storytelling, food, music, and community can bring people together in meaningful ways. 💛hashtag#AAPIHeritageMonth hashtag#Community hashtag#Volunteerism hashtag#RISE hashtag#EmployeeResourceGroup hashtag#CelebrAsian hashtag#Inclusion hashtag#Leadership
