“For 30 years, the mission of the Asian American Coalition has been to promote educational excellence, economic development, and increased government participation and access to all Asian Americans – this year’s conference theme reflects our many proud accomplishments,” said Dr. Nguyen Trung Hieu, President of the AACC 2012 Board of Directors, and one of its Co-Founders.
