WHIAAPI Week in Review

February 18, 2011 at 9:53 AM ET by Audrey Buehring

Summary:

Learn about all of the exciting things the Initiative has been working on this week, including new data sheets on AAPIs and economic growth, immigration, and AAPI-serving institutions.

Welcome to this week's edition of the WHIAAPI Week in Review. The FY12 Budget is out and WHIAAPI is buzzing about how it will impact AAPIs. Plus, WHIAAPI is releasing more fact sheets -- a great opportunity to learn more about economic growth, immigration, and AAPI-serving institutions. And for all you Super-Bowlers who cheered on our Commissioner Hines Ward a couple of weeks ago, WHIAAPI put out a video you can't miss. Read below for further details on these stories.

Also, this past week, WHIAAPI partnered with the White House Council on Women and Girls to host an AAPI women's roundtable. The roundtable served as a forum for community groups to present recommendations to address language access issues surrounding violence against immigrant women, as well as nail salon worker health and safety.
