The Council of Korean Americans (CKA) is a global community of leaders, changemakers, and influencers across diverse professions and sectors. Our growing network thrives on strong communication, meaningful interactions, and collaboration among members with their local communities.
Building CKA’s National Networks through our Local Communities
To empower these connections, CKA is launching Regional Chapters across the country. These Chapters will:
-
- Foster greater interaction among CKA members within cities and regions
- Encourage opportunities for greater volunteerism and involvement for members
- Organize local events to strengthen these regional networks and their communities
- Serve as regional hubs representing CKA in various parts of the U.S. to promote collaboration
Our goal is to create a strong, sustainable national network through regional engagements, amplifying our impact on the Korean American community nationwide.
Join us in building this powerful local and national network to support our Korean American communities.
