Under the theme “Awareness to Action,” this conference will offer prominent keynote speakers, workshops, andbreakout sessions; create an opportunity for API educators to meet and network; and present a new dimension in sharing our diverse regional issues, concerns, and successes with other API colleagues. We are honored to have as confirmed speakers at the conference:

• Jeff Adachi - public defender for the city of San Francisco
• Anisha Desai - executive director of the Women of Color Resource Center
• Katherine Dinh - Head of School at Prospect Sierra School (K-8 independent school in El Cerrito, CA)
• Jane Kim - San Francisco Unified School District Board member and youngest elected official in San Francisco
• Sally Matsuishi - CEO of Next Generation Scholars
• Michael Omi - professor at UC Berkeley’s Ethnic Studies Department whose work includes race theory, Asian American studies, and antiracist scholarship

The Asian Educators Alliance 2008 National Conference is by and for API educators. We welcome all self-identified API colleagues in independent, charter, and public schools and current API graduate students or professionals in the field of education. While we appreciate and honor the support of our non-API allies, we ask that they respect our intentions for this space. As an alternative method of support, we encourage our allies to help in publicizing this event to their API colleagues.
