AAPI 2023 Fall Social Dinner

Leave a comment

Colorado has zero Asian-American and Pacific Islander (or AAPI) people in the Legislature and – if you wanted a number that reflected the population – there should be four. We’re working to change that. Three years ago, Colorado 50-50 brought together a group of volunteers specifically interested in seeing more AAPI women in elected office.

Please join us on Friday, November 17, 6-8 PM for our AAPI Fall Social Dinner where you will meet other fabulous people who are interested in promoting AAPI women in leadership! We’re meeting at the Coark Collective Food Hall at 15775 E. Arapahoe Rd. in Centennial where you may purchase what you would like for dinner. There is no additional fee for this event. An RSVP at info@colorado5050.org would be appreciated.

Have fun discussing politics and policy. Meet women elected officials and candidates. Bring your checkbook in case you meet some you would like to support financially. Get connected with people working on campaigns, hear what campaigns are like, and discover volunteer opportunities. Come meet up with us!

Colorado 50-50 is proud to be partnering with The BIPOC Alliance to present, “Changing the Narrative in Local Politics.”

We aim to demystify the process for running for office and show how lived experience can open doors in politics. By harnessing the power of difference, we can change the narrative of local politics to one that is reflective of our democracy and more inclusive than ever.

The event will be a panel discussion followed by an intentional networking session.

Our panelists are:

  • Boulder County Commissioner Marta Loachamin
  • Lafayette Mayor JD Mangat
  • Erie Mayor Justin Brooks
  • Dacono City Councilor Doris Crespo

Date: Monday, October 23, 2023
Time: Doors open 5:45 PM with light refreshments
Panel discussion begins at 6 PM
Networking with local elected officials begins at 7 PM
Event ends at 7:30 PM
Location: Longmont Public Library, 409 4th Avenue Longmont, CO 80501

Registration is free and available through Facebook or EventBrite.

Please share this event with any women you’d like to encourage to take their next steps in leadership!
