Asian Pacific Americans (APA) Program

NAAAP-NY is proud to recognize outstanding Asian Pacific American leaders form our community at our Scholarship & Leadership Dinner on Saturday, May 17, 2003 at Marriott Marquis Hotel in New York City. Over the years, APA groups have taken a significant role in enhancing the career development of Asian Pacific Americans in the business communities. Thus, we plan to honor such trailblazers who have proved excellence in community service over the years.

Last year, we honored two such outstanding APA professionals; June Jee of Verizon and Veronica Tsang of JP Morgan Chase. June Jee is the Community Affairs Director with Verizon Communications group and Veronica Tsang is the Vice President and Manager of Account Management Team and Customer Service Delivery and Operations for Chase Workplace Financial Service.
