June 7, 2008 – This year’s Board Installation took place at a dim sum restaurant and it was generously underwritten by Southern California Edison and Craig Minami.  With an influx of six new board members, the Board has grown swiftly this past year.  At the same time we said farewell to long-term members, Craig Minami and Mona Miyasato.  Both will now serve on the Advisory Council.

September 20, 2008 – Once again the Board and staff managers had a very productive retreat at the CenterPointe Club at Playa Vista.  Underwritten by The Gas Co. and Southern California Edison, the retreat focused on how the Board and staff could increase and improve its fundraising for the future.  The current Board is very committed to finding ways to increase flexible funds for the agency so it can serve even more APIs.  We appreciated Tom Hayashi facilitating a very diverse level of individuals.
