Revisiting the 17th Annual Gala
On May 4th, 2011, APAICS was joined by Congresspeople, civically engaged corporations, and community leaders for an elegant and powerful evening. Together, we celebrated our legacy of leadership as we recognized the Honorable Norman Y. Mineta and honored Congressman Michael Honda, SAALT Exec. Dir. Deepa Iyer, and Comcast.
Whether you were unable to attend or wish to revisit key moments during the evening, videos are now available to watch on our website. See Secretary Gary Locke share the story of his family's immigration, hear the Honorable Norman Y. Mineta's philosophy on America as a "Melting Pot", or be awestruck by the 10-year-old-Filipina Maria Aragon and her powerful performances.
