OCA Asian Pacific Islander American Advocates: Utah Chapter

09/30/2026

It's not too late to REGISTER!

The 2-day event aims to provide participants hands-on experience on understanding local issues affecting our Asian and Pacific Islander communities, meet fellow community leaders, and learn how to track bills, laws, and policies being discussed and passed in the Capitol while meeting fellow Asians and Pacific Islanders; the event is open to all but attendees MUST register.

As you know, our Utah Asian and Pacific Islander community is very special, unlike others in the country. This Leadership Summit is ideal for Asian and Pacific Islander community members, those who are serving as leaders and officers in our local organizations, and for youth interested in being leaders and helping Utah be a better place to live in.
