Asian American Prosecutors Association, AAPA, for their dedication

to promoting justice and advancing the interests of Asian American 
prosecutors in California's 15th Congressional District and throughout 
the state of California. Their willingness to advocate for victims' 
rights within the Asian American community, while advocating for 
fairness, equality, and justice for the public at large, is a testament 
to their workmanship, leadership, and unwavering dedication to the 
community they serve.
  The Asian American Prosecutors Association seeks to empower its 
members and all prosecutors through education and training about the 
needs of the Asian American community. AAPA's acting board members are 
a wealth of knowledge, each having many years of experience working 
with the Asian American community, and they are all eager to strengthen 
and support the roles of Asian Americans in all aspects of law and the 
criminal justice system. Those who serve on the board include, Annie 
Saadi as President, Sharon Carney as Vice President, Huy Luong as 
Treasurer, Michael Carney as Secretary, David Lim as Executive Board 
Member, Amy Deng in Public Relations & Marketing, Lauren Hashimoto in 
Membership & Recruitment, Mas Morimoto in Community Affairs and Glenn 
Kim in Information Technology.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask that the entire House of Representatives join me 
in honoring the Asian American Prosecutors Association. AAPA's 
dedication to the community is an inspiration to us all and it is a 
high privilege to represent them, and I am glad to take this 
opportunity to pay tribute to their inaugural reception.
