  • Annual Report 2O18
    ANNUAL REPORT 2O18 202.660.0900 councilka.org 1875 K Street NW, Suite 400 [email protected] Washington, DC 20006 Dear Supporter, The Council of Korean Americans (CKA) is a national Korean American organization with nearly 250 community leaders, pioneers, and trailblazers. Our members, board of directors, and staff have worked tirelessly to advance the national voice, interest, and influence of the Korean American community. 2018 was a pivotal year for CKA. First, we embarked on a leadership change and an important transition to strengthen CKA’s management team. Dr. Abraham Kim was installed as the new executive director in December 2018 and has since launched an ambitious, multi-year plan for the organization to become the premier national voice for Korean Americans. Second, under the effective interim leadership of Jessica Lee, CKA expanded its active programming and outreach across the country throughout 2018. CKA gathered community leaders in Los Angeles and Washington, DC for two high-profile galas that drew over 1,000 people combined to celebrate the extraordinary contributions of the Korean American community. CKA also forged groundbreaking partnerships with African American and Jewish American communities to discuss race relations and the future of U.S.-North Korea engagement, ensuring that Korean American voices are heard on issues of national consequence. Third, we continued our critical investment in the next generation of Korean American leaders. 2018 marked the third year of the CKA-KALCA Public Service Internship Program, which funded and placed nearly 30 college students with summer internships in government offices and nonprofit organizations throughout Washington, DC and New York City.
