As the fifth Chair of the Miami-Dade County Asian-American Advisory Board, I take a great pleasure in welcoming you to our new and improved website.

I wish to take this opportunity to share with you the role of our Board and how we can work together, to turn our aspirations into accomplishments and our dreams into realities. We endeavor to promote a positive image of Asian-Americans and their many contributions to society, to promote the cultural heritage of Asia and to eliminate ignorance and bigotry towards Asian-Americans.

The Board was created to work in an advisory capacity to the Board of County Commissioners,   administration, community and all agencies in Miami-Dade County, Florida with respect to matters pertaining to the Asian-American  community of Miami-Dade County. In addition to that the Board and its staff routinely assist people with their grievances and intervene with the appropriate parties to seek a remedy for them.

In the end, however, our accomplishments will only be measured by an active participation by you, the community, who can keep us in touch with the needs and challenges facing you. Finally, our success will be defined by how effective we the Asian-Americans are in functioning with the rest of the community. Let’s continue to work together to make our Asian culture and heritage an integral part of the larger community and to make Miami-Dade County a better place for all of us to live.
