WASHINGTON DC – On January 28, 2012 FAPAC joined with the Asian American Government Executives Network (AAGEN) and the Pan-Pacific American Leaders and Mentors (PPALM) in a letter to Leon Panetta, Secretary of Defense, in expressing our concern about the continued incidence of hazing in the military leading to the death of Private Danny Chen despite the policy against bullying and hazing. The three organizations offered their assistance in finding solutions to the problem the root cause. The theme for the 2012 Asian American Heritage Month - “Striving for Excellence in Leadership, Diversity and Inclusion” was chosen by FAPAC recently to calling on managers and supervisors on the need to become leaders in view of the increasing diverse workforce in the federal government. The theme was to support the Executive Order on Diversity and Inclusion signed by President Obama on August 18, 2011.

Education, mentoring and accountability are the key to change the culture that may be deep rooted. To this end FAPAC will have programming in its coming conference in Atlanta, to be held on April 30 – May 4, 2012 to the importance of diversity.
