Building a National Leadership Community Advocating for Korean Americans

 

The Council of Korean Americans is steadfast in its mission to amplify the voices and expand the impact of Korean Americans through leadership education and advocacy programs

Washington, D.C.–(Newsfile Corp. – April 2, 2024) – The United States of America has become home to hundreds of nationalities, enticing immigrants with greater opportunities and the promise of a more prosperous life for themselves and their families. As of 2023, approximately 2 million Korean Americans are living in the US, either foreign-born or born and raised in the States. While this community continues to make significant contributions to the country and advance within the professional sphere, there remains a disconnect in the representation of senior executive and top leadership roles in both the public and private sectors. The Council of Korean Americans (CKA) aims to bridge that gap, focusing on nurturing current and future leaders with the critical leadership skill sets necessary and expanding a community driven to invest in them.

The Council of Korean Americans is a not-for-profit organization created as an answer to amplifying the national voice of Korean Americans and ensuring their leaders are increasingly in decision-making roles in both the public and private sectors. Dr. Abraham Kim, Executive Director at CKA, believes that to have more Asian American leaders in influential positions in business and government, a thriving and supportive community that invests and advocates for them is essential.
