In celebration of Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, join us for a discussion with Asian Pacific American community leaders, San Francisco Board of Education Commissioner, Dr. Emily Murase, and District 7 Supervisor, Norman Yee. Together with Wu Yee's CEO, Monica Walters, they will share their lessons on how to make a lasting impact and improve lives in the community.
Dr. Emily Murase continues the legacy of her parents who were among the Founders of the Japanese Bilingual Bicultural Program (JBBP), a signature program of the San Francisco public school system since 1972.
Dr. Murase serves as Executive Director of the San Francisco Department on the Status of Women and is a Commissioner on the San Francisco Board of Education. Previously, she served in the first Clinton White House as Director for International Economic Affairs (1993-1994). In 2009, Dr. Murase was named "Woman of the Year" by California State Senator Leland Yee and recognized for her contributions to the women's community by the Democratic Women's Forum.
San Francisco Supervisor Norman Yee has worked on behalf of San Franciscans for the past 35 years. Representing District 7 since 2012, he continues to build stronger communities and improve the City’s quality of life. Supervisor Yee is a third-generation native San Franciscan, a former Commissioner on the San Francisco Board of Education, and the former Executive Director of Wu Yee Children's Services.
Supervisor Yee spearheaded the creation of numerous civic organizations and initiatives, including the San Francisco Early Head Start Program, the Asian Parent Education Network, the San Francisco Child Care Providers Association, and the Chinatown Beacon Center. Prior to being elected to the Board of Supervisors, he served on the boards of the San Francisco Child Care Providers Association and the Chinese Culture Foundation.
This event features light refreshments and a networking hour.
