Asian & Pacific Islander Caucus (APIC) Board of Directors
Interested in creating the future of Asian & Pacific Islander Public Health & Health Equity? Run for the 2015-2016 Asian & Pacific Islander Caucus (APIC) Board of Directors! Apply by September 15.
Dear Colleagues Committed to Advancing the Multiple Determinants of Asian & Pacific Islander Health,
The Asian & Pacific Islander Caucus (APIC) for Public Health is creating the future for Asian & Pacific Islander Health. In 1974, we were founded to address public health issues affecting APIs in the United States and associated jurisdictions in affiliation with the American Public Health Association. Forty years later, we incorporated and formed a nationally recognized non-profit organization and be the vision and voice for Asian & Pacific Islander public health and health equity.
In 2014, we did something extraordinary. We celebrated our 40th Anniversary, became a federally recognized 501(c)3, founded the APIC Hall of Fame, doubled our APHA members, and increased our revenue stream. In 2015 and beyond, our goal is to outdo ourselves, by dramatically increasing our revenue stream so we can continue to advance thought- and action-leadership in Asian & Pacific Islander public health and health equity in the United States and associated jurisdictions.
That’s where you come in. We’d like you to apply, or recommend exceptional leaders, for APIC’s Board of Directors who will help us grow APIC. We are looking for board members who have expertise in corporate and non-profit fundraising, grant writing and board development.
