I had a wonderful week in NYC with my fellow VOICES for AAPI board members, and we are delighted to partner with Patrice Tanaka to offer this scholarship opportunity to VOICES members, students, and future leaders. Please apply and share with others!

Don’t miss this opportunity. Finding your purpose is important in guiding your career. Oftentimes when I speak at conferences and with my mentees, the question of how I found my purpose inevitably comes up. I believe happiness is when your purpose and career connects. This is when my heart started to sing. Sign up! VOICES for AAPI Patrice Tanaka John Onoda Bill Imada Patricia Ratulangi Kevin Cockett Joy Moh Cynthia Sugiyama Lorie Anne Acio Roela Santos Jackie Liu
