Our Mission
CKA’s mission is to advance the national voice and influence
of the Korean American community.
Thus, to help focus our efforts, CKA promotes four core priorities:
Amplify Voice
Strengthen the voice of Korean American leaders in the media and public policy arena and leverage their influence to shape important issues affecting our community
Build Community
Strengthen communication and collaboration among Korean American leaders across sectors and regions, and improve relations with other ethnic and racial groups
Celebrate Identity
Strengthen Korean American ties across generations; educate the public about Korean American history, culture, and arts; and celebrate Korean American role models
Develop Leaders
Provide training for emerging, professional, and executive-level leaders and establish a community where leaders can mentor and invest in future generations
Ultimately, we envision a Korean American community that works to advance its voice and influence by empowering leaders, building bridges, and actively giving back to address the needs of our community and world.
