May marks the start of Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) Heritage Month, an annual celebration that pays tribute to the generations of Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders who have enriched America’s history. This year’s theme, according to the Federal Asian Pacific American Council (FAPAC), is “Advancing Leaders Through Innovation,” a continuation of the “Advancing Leaders'” series that began in 2021. Throughout the month, Perkins Eastman will be exploring #AANHPI history through a series of panels and events, supporting local AANHPI-owned businesses, and celebrating the community’s rich artistic contributions. #AANHPIHeritageMonth #AANHPI2024 #AsianAmericanHistory #NativeHawaiianHistory #PacificIslanderHistory #PerkinsEastman #HumanByDesign
