As we begin to celebrate our 10th Anniversary in 2012 we invite you to participate in our brand new IAA Ambassador Program that will allow us to continue to expand our reach in these areas.
Last year we were able to:
- Host the largest Asian Heritage Festival in the state of Iowa by drawing 25,000 individuals to experience Asian cultural traditions, food and entertainment.
- Host the Inaugural IowAsia Business Summit which brought together 9 foreign dignitaries, representing 4 prominent Asian countries, 7 Iowa Businesses and 50 key leaders from across the state.
- Share information about Iowa Asian Alliance, our communities and resources available to both businesses and individuals at 7 different community events and festivals throughout the year.
- Connect 30 business leaders from around the community during the 2nd Annual IAA Golf Tournament.
In 2012, it is our goal to increase our community presence and strengthen the Iowa Asian Alliance through the following:
- Host the 10th annual CelebrAsian Festival with hopes to draw 40,000 participants who seek to learn more and appreciate all that the Asian divesrity does for our state and communities.
- Revamping our chapter events to bring provide an opportunity to bring community leaders, business and families together 4 times throughout the year to learn more about topics that are key to fostering economic growth and community development within the state of Iowa.
- Reaching out to the schools to create programs that allow teachers to easily integrate educational materials about the Asian culture and the impact it has on our community.
- Increase our member’s awareness of the business and economic resources available to them through targeted marketing programs, continued participation in community events and further development of the IowAsia Business Summit and Annual golf tournament.
