Board of Directors

Our heart breaks for those who have lost loved ones at the hands of police brutality. Our heart breaks for our communities that have been devastated by violence and looting. And our heart breaks for businesses that were a sign of economic growth that have since been destroyed.

It is okay to not be okay with the current events. It is okay to not be okay with racism. It is okay to not be okay with misdirected anger and frustration. And it is okay to not be okay with the status quo.

For over 40 years Asian Human Services (AHS) has served and supported all people, regardless of who they are, where they come from, what they look like, their race or their ethnic identity. We have been a safe place for people to share their feelings of anger, outrage, and their fears. Today is no different.

At AHS we will work hard to do our part, no matter how uncomfortable the conversation may get, to help root out issues of racism, poverty, and inequality that have plagued our communities for decades. We know that this will not happen overnight or in isolation. It will take time, it will take collaboration, and it will take honesty. At AHS we promote diversity within our staff and foster a culture of respect and acceptance. Racism and discrimination of any kind is unacceptable, and we hold ourselves accountable.

It is our sincere hope that in the weeks ahead we can move from anger to progress and from sadness to healing. We walk in hope for a better world for all.

Be well and be safe,
