Asian American & Pacific Islander Heritage Month Commemoration
Registration for this event will close on Monday, May 17 at 8:00 PM
Join us as we commemorate Asian American and Pacific Islander month with two poignant events that will share community stories, recognize AAPI leaders, and educate and empower us as real estate professionals.
On May 18, support the AAPI community and learn about the rich, important history of AAPIs and Chicago.
SMALL BUSINESS GRANT WINNERS
We will kick off the event by recognizing two long-standing AAPI small business owners who have made significant, lasting impacts within their communities. Come show your support, hear their inspiring stories and learn more about how we can help make a positive community impact.
THE PAST & THE PRESENT
We’ll also address the saddening rise in Asian American violence. Our public safety officer will provide guidance and techniques on how to protect yourself and advocate as a bystander.
Then, Professor John Rohsenow, PhD, will lead a virtual tour of the Chinese American Museum of Chicago’s current exhibitions. After which, Ben Lau will give a presentation on the history of one of Chicago’s most diverse neighborhoods: Chinatown.
This is event is co-sponsored by CAR’s Global Real Estate Council.
