Thanks U-dub-dub!
Hello everyone!
A very special thank you to the University of Wisconsin - Whitewater (aka "U-dub-dub") planning committee for hosting us and planning such a wonderful Leadership Retreat! This was the first time UWW hosted a MAASU conference, and we saw many familiar and new faces.
- "WOW! Congratulations to MAASU LR 2009!! We hope you all gained leadership skills and made some new friends. On behalf of the MAASU Planning Committee from UW-Whitewater, we would like to thank all of you for attending this year’s LR conference. It has been an awesome experience. We hope that you will take what you learned and fuse it into your organizations at your respective institutions. Thank you again for attending and WE will see you all at Spring Conference at The Ohio State University!"
-- Soua Lor and Ka Vang, MAASU 2009 LR Co-Chairs

MAASU 2009-2010 Executive Coordinating Committee at LR
It's important for us to stay abreast with Asian American issues. Be sure to read up on Nobel Prize recipient Professor Charles Kuen Kao and Representative Anh 'Joseph' Cao in the MAASU blog. Also download the Leadership Education for Asian Pacifics (LEAP) 2009 APA Representation on Fortune 100 Boards (right click and save as) to learn about absence of APAs on corporate boards.
We look forward to seeing everyone again in April at OSU! In the meantime...
