Exiting news from our Atlanta chapter …
The National Association of Asian American Professionals’ Atlanta chapter, or NAAAP-Atlanta, led the team of organizations put together the event. It was held at the Georgia Institute of Technology’s College of Management.
Ms. Chao was already in Atlanta to speak at a conference of the Association of Government Accountants, so her office asked NAAAP-Atlanta to provide a forum for her to speak on labor issues.
This wasn’t Ms. Chao’s first time in Atlanta or her first engagement with NAAAP’s chapter here. She came to the Georgia capital last year to speak at NAAAP’s national convention.
The local chapter is the largest in the country with more than 360 members and was chosen to host the event, which raised some $230,000 and drew 1,000 attendees, NAAAP-Atlanta president Tommy Yip told GlobalAtlanta.
