P.I.A. project exec appointed to National Commission on Asian American and Pacific Islander Research in Education

The Pacific Islander Access project is pleased to announce that our CEO and President has been appointed to the National Commission on Asian American and Pacific Islander Research in Education (aka the CARE Commission).  Kawika has joined one of the most visible and active national organizations dedicated to demonstrating the diverse needs of the dozens of groups that commonly fall under the Asian American and Pacific Islander umbrella.

"I was honored by the invitation to join the CARE Commission, and look forward to working with its members and staff to raise the level of awareness about the educational realities facing America's two fastest growing racial groups: Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders.  I hope that as someone committed to sharing knowledge about Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders, I can contribute to the overall dialogue being driven by the CARE Commission," said Pacific Islander Access project CEO and President Kawika Riley.
