Ascend AAPI ERG Celebrates Growth and Impact in Los Angeles and CelebrAsian Community

Programming example

Happy Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month! Last week, I had the good fortune of having dinner with David Doan, President of Ascend Los Angeles Chapter. We discussed our vision for elevating Ascend Members and our Asian Community. Over the past few years, Ascend has made significant strides in its mission. We’ve created a safe space for networking, formalized a mentorship program, hosted women-led leadership events, partnered with a nonprofit to assist with tax preparation for the local community, and most importantly, we’ve fostered a sense of fun and camaraderie among our members.At Ascend, we are committed to supporting and developing the business leaders of tomorrow, particularly those of Asian and Pacific Islander descent. We empower top talent at every stage of their career lifecycle through an inclusive network that enables our members to serve our vibrant communities to the best of their abilities.At CLA (CliftonLarsonAllen), I’ve had the opportunity to network with our family members through our CelebrAsian Virtual Belonging Community. I’m incredibly proud of the support and sense of belonging we’ve created, which truly defines our culture and engagement.hashtag#AAPI hashtag#AAPIHeritageMonthhashtag#CreateOpportunities hashtag#CLAfamily hashtag#CLApromise hashtag#ItsGonnaToBeMay
