Leaders Forum is a consortium of executive, civic and academic leaders that are able to provide subject matter expertise and opinions with authenticity and credibility. These leaders are exceptionally skilled, committed, and driven to shape public agenda through high-level policy discussions with those in power as well as deliver tangible results. 

In the fall of 2014,  several commissioners of the White House Initiative on Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (WHIAAPI) had the vision to leverage the thought leadership of powerful heads of industry and community to meet the country’s most pressing challenges. 

After meeting at the White House, this group of senior Administration officials and accomplished thought leaders set out to create a non­-profit, non­partisan organization outside of the federal government to focus on unlocking the collective power of AANHPIs and allies to serve the common good.

From its inception, Leaders Forum has served as an public service incubator for leaders who have gone on to head their own initiative and movements that are now shaping the future of our community and country at large.

Leaders Forum leaders are uniquely equipped with the foresight, insight, and acumen to take things from words to actions and actually get things done.
