During the 2nd Annual AAPI Lead Summit in Atlanta, GA, CKA partnered with AAPI Lead to host three high-impact media trainings, supported through a generous grant from the Heinz und Liselotte Nehring Foundation. The workshops brought together 40+ leaders from public service, nonprofit organizations, and civic advocacy for a full day of skill-building designed to help AAPI leaders communicate with confidence and authority.

Participants engaged in expert-led sessions on media engagement, executive presence, authentic storytelling, and crisis communication. These hands-on trainings equipped attendees with practical tools to strengthen their messaging, navigate high-stakes situations, and amplify their voices to create meaningful change within their sectors.

This collaboration between CKA and AAPI Lead reflects a shared commitment to advancing AAPI representation and influence in public life. By providing a dedicated space for leaders to build critical skills and expand their networks, the program is helping to cultivate a new generation of AAPI changemakers.
