Center for Asian Americans United for Self Empowerment (CAUSE) would like to invite you to celebrate its 20th Anniversary at the CAUSE Annual Dinner. The event will be held at the Langham Huntington Hotel in Pasadena, California (1401 South Oak Knoll Avenue, 91106) on Friday, April 19, 2013. Dinner starts at 7:00 p.m., preceded by a reception at 5:00 p.m.
This year’s dinner marks an important milestone for both CAUSE and the Asian American community. The community and our organization have seen tremendous growth in number and in influence in the past few years. CAUSE’s 20th Anniversary Dinner is a time for us to not only celebrate our accomplishments, but also look forward to the next 20 years of empowering the Asian American community.
This year, we will be honoring individuals and organizations for leadership and legacies that have enhanced the civic participation of the Asian Pacific American (APA) community:
- Anne Shen Smith, Chairman & CEO of SoCalGas Co., Corporate Leadership Award
- Mazie K. Hirono, U.S. Senator, State of Hawaii, Norman Y. Mineta Legacy Award
- Mark Takano, U.S. Representative, 41st District of California, Inspirational Leadership Award
- Asian Pacific American Legislative Staff Network (APALS), Community Impact Award
As one of the leading organizations serving the civic needs of the APA community in the greater Los Angeles area, CAUSE is pleased to host its Annual Dinner, the premier event for those interested in politics and the APA community. Over 500 guests are expected to attend, including the most prominent leaders in the corporate, legal, and political communities in Southern California.
While the Annual Dinner is a celebration and recognition of influential individuals and organizations, it is also a way for CAUSE to raise funds for its many programs and services, which include non-partisan voter registration and education events, community outreach, and our legislative internship and leadership development programs.
