9, 2005, CAAEN (Corporate Asian-American Employee Network) and Intel
sponsored an executive panel discussion based on the theme, “Achieving
Excellence Through Shared Experiences: Profiles of Leadership and
Empowerment”. Approximately 200 guests attended the annual event.
This was the first time that a CAAEN event was held in the SouthBay, last year the event was held in downtown San Francisco at the PG&E headquarters. The
program was a lively and open discussion about how employees of Asian
Pacific American descent can succeed professionally and personally in
today’s challenging workplace. Particular emphasis was given on the
advantages and potential challenges of workforce mentoring. Senior executives serving as moderator and panelists, include:
Despite significant advances in education, where 44 percent of Asian Pacific Americans, 25 years
and older, have secured a bachelor’s degree or higher compared with
only 26 percent of the total U.S. population, there are only a few
executives of Asian American descent within Fortune 500 companies and
governmental agencies. CAAEN was established to equip Asian Pacific
American employees with the necessary tools to advance professionally
and personally. |
