Racial justice and the long road ahead
The theme for this year’s Asian American Leadership Forum was “Justice Beyond Just Us.” More than a clever saying that paraphrases what the country has been struggling with in the past year, it is a signal of the clear direction that Asian Americans Advancing Justice | Chicago should take in the future. Thank you to the 200 AALF participants — including 10 from out of state (Michigan and Ohio), and 55 high school students from our KINETIC program.

This conference also could not have happened without the continued support of our leadership development programs by Aon Corporation.02.17.2015
