On May 16, the Korean American Association attended the 20th gala event hosted by the Kansas City Asian Chamber of Commerce. At this significant event, various Asian communities, chambers of commerce, and Asian-owned companies located in Kansas City gathered to talk and network with each other.
As this gala event celebrated its 20th anniversary, it was even more colorful and spectacular. Representatives from various Asian communities, including the Korean American Association, attended, and members of the Chamber of Commerce and industry and Asian-owned companies gathered together for a time of celebration and encouragement. This event is regarded as an important place to strengthen solidarity and promote mutual cooperation among Asian communities.
The special keynote lecturer for this day was Gary Locke, a former U.S. Ambassador, Chairman of Commerce, and Governor of Washington State. He shared a moving story about his personal life experience as an Asian American and his influence on society. His talk was a great inspiration to the attendees and raised their pride as an Asian American. Gary Locke, in particular, garnered a lot of sympathy for his in-depth talk about how the Asian American community can have a positive impact on mainstream society.
The Korean American Association played a major role in strengthening the connection between the Kansas City Asian community and mainstream society at this gala event. The Korean Society continues to make efforts to raise the status of the Korean American community and promote the rights and interests of Korean people through various networking activities. We are also looking for ways to understand each other's culture and grow together through cooperation with other Asian communities.
Attendees shared their impressions that this gala event was a very meaningful time. In particular, Gary Locke's lecture left a deep impression on many people, and it was an opportunity for them to recall their identity and pride as an Asian American. The Korean American Association plans to continue to promote the growth of the Korean American community through close cooperation with the Kansas City Asian Community. To this end, we plan and actively participate in various events and programs.
This Kansas City Asian Chamber of Commerce gala event was a precious time for various Asian communities, including the Korean American Association, to gather together to encourage each other and cooperate. We look forward to further strengthening solidarity and mutual development between Asian communities through these events in the future.
