What We Do

APAWLI Fellowship Program

APAWLI Fellowship Program

This is CAPAW’s signature leadership program for women developing leadership skills programs in the modern world. This program seeks to promote leadership of Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) women in both private and public sectors by fostering the development of AANHPI women as Whole Person Leaders (link here from website) through leadership conferences for women. For 2022, the program is running virtually for the first time.

• Make a positive social impact around racism as a collective cohort.
• Influence other women of color for a better chance at success – as defined by the individual.
• Learn about relationship mastery and how that is important to the career fulcrum.
