Legislative Leadership Summit​

The 2026 APAICS Legislative Leadership Summit (LLS) brings together nonprofit and corporate leaders, subject matter experts, as well as local, state, and federal elected officials to discuss important issues that affect the Asian American & Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander (AA & NH/PI) community and the nation at large. LLS focuses on issues, policies, practices, and trends in the AA & NH/PI community in an environment that facilitates solution-oriented dialogue and building public service pipelines in communities of color.
