The Asian American Board Exchange program was created in 2023 with the intent of matching Board Volunteers from the Asian American Executive Network to Asian American Nonprofit organizations across the nation. We have successfully match 6 board volunteers to 4 Asian American nonprofits in 2023. Our 1st half resulted in 17 discussion currently in progress. We are hopeful that a few successful match will be reported soon. We will report on the results of the 1st half and encourage more board volunteers and nonprofit organizations to participate as we relaunch the program on 10/30. Please join us if schedule permits.
