WHIAAPI convened a regional summit in Guam in April and several representatives from the Northern Mariana Islands attended. The new Task Force was created to ensure follow up on the recommendations gathered at that summit. In May 2015, WHIAAPI will host an Administration-wide conference in Washington, DC where federal agencies will highlight the progress they have made. The Task Force aims to engage agency officials to increase opportunity and access to federal programs, with a specific focus on supporting non-governmental organizations in the region as well as develop local capacity building and technical assistance support. The group is comprised of officials from the agencies represented at the summit and members of the President’s Advisory Commission on AAPIs.
