The California Commission on Asian & Pacific Islander American Affairs (CAPIAA), in partnership with Sacramento State and the California Asian American & Pacific Islander Legislative Caucus (AAPILC), is proud to present the Inaugural Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) Statewide Policy Summit "Engaging our communities: Democracy Beyond the Ballot Box."

As part of this year's theme, we focus attention on the need for AAPI civic engagement in the public discourse, harnessing the collective power of our shared history and issues impacting the AAPI communities. The summit will bring together hundreds of AAPI community organizations, key leaders, elected officials and appointees, philanthropic organizations, and other stakeholders across the state.
