It's AAPI Heritage Month! Throughout the month, and every day, we honor the remarkable influence and contributions AAPI communities have made to this nation's history, culture, economy, and beyond. Ephraim Palmero, LISC Program Officer – Policy & Engagement, is a first generation immigrant from the Philippines and discusses what Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month means to him.
"I am grateful to work with a national organization that recognizes and uplifts our AAPI members. Spaces such as our AAPI Affinity Group fosters community across all offices and allows one to connect with people from similar backgrounds. LISC works best if our team reflects the communities we aim to serve and empower,” said Palmero.
