Asian Pacific Leadership Awards Announced!

Congratulations to the 2010 Asian Pacific Leadership Awards recipients, including Lao American visual artist  Mali Kouanchao, for Excellence in the Arts.  

If you can, please attend the dinner this year so we can show our support for our fellow Lao who are helping to raise our local and national profile in positive ways!

The other winners include Mao Heu Thao and Kaimay Yuen Terry for Leadership and Dixie Lee Riley (posthumously) for Lifetime Achievement. The results were recently announced by the Council on Asian Pacific Minnesotans.

The awards will be presented at the annual dinner this month. For this year, the Council has put together a program that will explore the roots of the Asian American & Pacific Islanders community. 

The Annual Dinner is Saturday, May 15, 2010 from 6:00 pm until 9:00 pm at the Crowne Plaza Riverfront, 11 East Kellogg Blvd, St. Paul, MN. Dinner is $40.00 per person.
