Established in 1975, CAAPS provides opportunities for Chinese American scholars and professionals from a variety of sectors to network, share knowledge, develop their skills and advance their careers. As you gather to exchange ideas about improving society through multidisciplinary collaboration, I commend this wonderful organization for its efforts to strengthen our academic and business communities, promote cross-cultural understanding, and empower Chinese American leaders throughout the five boroughs and beyond. Together, we are forging a brighter, more inclusive future for all. On behalf of the City of New York, please accept my best wishes for a productive conference and continued success.
