Description:
The mission of AAGEN is to promote, expand and support Asian Pacific American leadership in the Federal, state and local governments.

In early 1994, several Federal Asian American senior executives met informally to become better acquainted, to explore the possibilities of setting a more structured network, and to find ways to identify other executives.  It was agreed that through a network, we would be able to establish a high level voice and representation for ourselves and other Asian Americans in Federal service, to help each other, and to maintain visibility that other similar organizations have achieved for their respective interests.  In the ensuing months, the group grew quickly with executives representing more than 20 Federal agencies, and the network was formed.
