NAPAWF*NYC and NYU’s Korean Student Association (KSA) are excited invite you to our career development panel for Asian American and Pacific Islander women. We guarantee you will leave with valuable insights and new friends in all industries!
AAPI women are often minorities twice over in their workplaces; as a result, many of us may face challenges that affect the trajectory of our careers, from how coworkers perceive us to what opportunities are made available to us. NAPAWF, as a multi-issue organization dedicated to advancing the rights of AAPI women and girls, is committed to helping our sisters reach their fullest potential, both personally and professionally. Our goal for this event is to highlight and celebrate AAPI womens’ professional contributions, and learn from each others’ experiences. The event will be moderated by a NAPAWF board member; if you have questions you’d like to ask the panelists, please email them to Yanran (chenyanran@gmail.com).
Join us now! And get to know the following AWESOME entrepreneurial panelists.
