WHITE HOUSE INITIATIVE ON
ASIAN AMERICANS AND PACIFIC ISLANDERS
April 14, 2014
Greetings,
On behalf of the White House Initiative on Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (WHIAAPI), I send my warmest welcome to the attendees of the Young Jains of America's 11th Biennial Convention. I applaud the organization's tireless efforts to encourage and inspire youth to make a positive difference in their communities.
........................
President Obama reauthorized WHIAAPI to improve the quality of life and opportunities for the AAPI community through increased access to and participation in federal programs, in which they remain underserved. With your involvement, the Initiative seeks to highlight both the tremendous unmet needs in AAPI communities as well as the dynamic assets that can be leveraged to meet those needs.
I commend the Young Jains of America for recognizing the importance of civic engagement among youth today and for their dedication to the AAPI community.
I wish you a warm congratulations and continued success in the years to come.
Sincerely,
