    2020 API Women’s Leadership Conference Representation Matters: Empowering API Women for Civic Engagement Saturday, August 22, 2020 9:30 AM - 12:30 PM PST LEAD. CHANGE. EMPOWER. National Virtual Event Live Streaming at www.APAPA.org/women2020 Welcome Message Welcome to APAPA’s first API Women’s Leadership Conference - A National Online Virtual Event in Empowering API Women for Civic Engagement, hosted by APAPA and APAPA Tri-Valley Chapter. We hope that you and your families are healthy and safe. Our nation has faced tough challenges this year including a pandemic and systematic inequities shown by the killings of George Floyd and other Black Americans, but despite these challenges, we also saw hope. We saw hope from Americans of all backgrounds, rising together to fight the injustices in our systems. We saw hope in the form of many calling out policies and structures that may no longer serve all Americans, and the most recent sign of hope yet, the selection of Kamala Harris, the first Black and South Asian/Indian woman nominated as the Vice-Presidential nominee. Harris is a representation that women leaders are part of the crucial element in healing our nation and making positive change. As a result, like the resilience that women leaders have historically shown, APAPA has put together an API Women’s Leadership Conference with a slate of dynamic and powerful leaders to inspire and celebrate women. The API Women’s Leadership Conference commemorates Women’s Equality Day, which celebrates the certification of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, giving women the right to vote.
