Cheung to Discuss "Shattering the Bamboo Ceiling" at 25th Annual NAAAP Convention

Cambridge-- City Councillor Leland Cheung will join State Representative Tackey Chan, California State Senator Ted Lieu and Boston City Council candidate Suzanne Lee for a panel discussion about the rise of Asian Americans in politics at the annual National Association of Asian American Professionals (NAAAP) 25th national convention on Friday, August 12. Previously Cheung served as the Executive Vice President of NAAAP, a position that allowed him to aid in furthering Asian American representation in top ranking jobs.

For the past 25 years, NAAAP has established itself as one of the top organizations committed to advancing and connecting Asian American professionals, Cheung said. ³This is one of the many wonderful reasons why I became a part of NAAAP and it is a great honor and privilege to join other esteemed political figures to discuss the increasing number of Asian Americans shattering the bamboo ceiling and breaking into politics.

NAAAP is the fastest growing Asian American organization in North America and has made great strides to promote Asian American professionals and leaders of tomorrow by cultivating leadership skills, career building strategies and networking among the Asian American community.
