Founded in 1986Early founders felt it was important to create a Council that was inclusive of individuals representative of various Asian ethnicities, rather than operating as a Council dominated by one Asian ethnic group to fulfill its vision. They envisioned creating an organization that could be a catalyst for creating a positive image of the Asian community, building cultural awareness, promoting Asian services and businesses, building pride in their children of Asian cultural heritage and succeeding generations, providing referral services, and most importantly, serving as a communication link amongst the Asian community.
