Volunteers at New York's Yung Wing School on Yale's Day of Service, May 16, 2009
In last year’s AAAYA Annual Report, the first for our young organization, we reported that we were “well on the road” to accomplishing our ambitious goal of “creating a national organization that would ‘promote the civic participation, leadership and service of Asian Americans and Asians at Yale and in the broader society.’”
If we were “well on the road” at the end of 2008, then 2009 marked a year when we gained significant momentum. The number of programs and events for alumni, students, and our communities reached critical mass, powered by the enthusiasm and hard work of a growing national network of volunteers united by a shared vision.
Hundreds of alumni, students, and friends came out for over twenty-five events in five metro areas. This annual report highlights the most significant of the organization’s activities and milestones of 2009.
