Conference Chair For The Asian American Student Union

Conference Chair – AASU As the conference chair for the Asian American Student Union, I spearheaded a school wide conference on Asian American issues and advocacy. This conference brought in speakers from across the United States, including members of the U.S. government, and had over 100 participants. In addition, I led a group of twenty students to the East Coast Asian American Student Union conference at Columbia University. I developed preparatory pre-departure workshops, handled scholarship distribution, and outlined travel logistics. As a member of the AASU board, I had the opportunity to develop my own general body meeting on the topic of Asian American portrayal in the media. My position as Conference Chair was my first large responsibility in college. This position developed my interpersonal and team working skills; it also instilled the importance of time management and organizational habits. Through the inspiration of my peers, I became committed to bring creativity and innovation to all events that I planned. This position allowed me to explore my passion of minority advocacy though the Asian/Asian American population and serve as a catalyst for the promotion of education and awareness of Asian history and culture. Our greatest accomplishment was the development and passing of the Asian American Studies Minor at the University of Florida. Our first step was garnering support from the community through assembling a committee of students and faculty, and createdShow MoreRelatedApplying the Four Frames and Eight Stages to Create a Plan to Manage Organizational Change3676 Words   |  15 PagesBand, Spanish, Art, and Engineering.
