WASHINGTON - Undefined Dozens of government and academic leaders gathered at the Center for American Progress on Friday to discuss ways to combat a "glaring invisibility" of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in the federal policy arena.

Symposium participants agreed that diversity is critical in the Senior Executive Service, especially given the fact that its main goal is to make sure that the federal government is responsive to the "needs, policies and goals of the nation." "(Our) mission is very simple," said Tommy Hwang, chair of the Asian American Government Executives Network (AAGEN). "It is to help more (Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders) get to the SES level. That's our entire mission."see the full text of the article and more about AAGEN's committment to this effort here
