Washington, DC – Today, US Asia Center (USAC) Chairman Rudy Pamintuan announced that USAC would host the Asian American Business Leaders Roundtable on August 8, 2008 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The event will be a daylong series of roundtable discussions with local Asian American Chamber leaders from throughout the United States. Topics to be discussed will range from the positive impact of Asian investment into the American economy, federal programs available to Asian American owned businesses, best practices amongst local Asian American Chambers and incentives of “going green.”

Success stories within the Asian American community will also be highlighted.

Confirmed speakers include former US Ambassador Sichan Siv and former Secretary of Transportation Norman Mineta. 

“The Asian American Business Leaders Roundtable will be a wonderful opportunity for active Asian American business leaders to network and learn about the various opportunities at the international and local levels. With this information, attendees can share this rich information to their respective chambers and institute programs for greater economic development within our community.” Rudy Pamintuan continued, “The participation of former US Ambassador Sichan Siv and Secretary Norman Mineta will offer an added dimension of inspiration.”
