Celebrating Asian Women Leaders in Las Vegas
While Asian Americans are heavily represented in corporate jobs, their presence drops off significantly at the board of director level, with Asian American women experiencing a particularly severe drop, at 80%, according to a new analysis released by the management consulting company McKinsey.

We’re honored to share the stories of these inspirational women who are “breaking the bamboo ceiling” and making an impact within our community.
