Tonight, as we celebrate the twenty second anniversary of Asian American Business Development Center and the fifteenth anniversary of the Outstanding 50 Asian Americans in Business Award Gala, the award recipients will join the ranks of almost 700 high achieving individuals who have been honored at this prestigious event since 2001. They represent a microcosm of the best of Asian American entrepreneurship and professionalism, with a pool of diverse and multi-talented individuals engaged in a wide range of business interests.

TODAY’S SELFISH PANDEMIC Seven years ago, Richard Lui walked into his supervisor’s office at NBC’s 30 Rock headquarters, prepared to give up his dream job. Having just learned of his father’s Alzheimer’s, the news anchor wanted to be with him during his important last years, even if it meant setting aside his career. So Lui reduced his work hours and joined 53 million Americans in becoming a family caregiver. In his new book, Enough About Me: The Unexpected Power of Selflessness, Lui opens up about ​ ​ helping his father and living to take care of somebody else. He couples his story with research and tips on how and why living selflessly can bring joy despite difficulty. Today, Lui observes, America suffers from a selfish pandemic. There is an apathy problem — from everyday Twitter disrespect to a rise in hate crimes. Lui reflects on his recent reporting on race-based violence, spree killers, and political animosity as some examples of how he’s seen in his stories selfish acts rise in frequency.
