Board Update 6.2025
To our Asian American Christian Collaborative (AACC) Community:
We are so thankful for your continued support of AACC. In the early stages of AACC (founded in 2021), the organization operated on a volunteer-led, staff-driven approach to governance. This structure was appropriate given the urgent priorities during the early years of AACC. As the organization has grown significantly in both size, impact, and influence, there was an increased need for a more governance model of leadership on the board level. As such, we are excited to share that the AACC Board of Directors has renewed our commitment to provide governance and oversight to the organization for its long-term health and growth. You should also expect to hear from the board through updates like these more regularly.
The Board of Directors are focused on the following during this season:
Organizational Sustainability, Oversight, and Growth:
The Board has been reorganized to establish more sustainable governance practices, ensure regular meetings, consistent oversight, and deepen clear organizational accountability and development.
With the growth we’ve seen, the Board commits to providing robust fiscal oversight, including regular reviews and reports.
We will develop and enhance clear channels of communication and systems of accountability moving toward fostering a more collegial, supportive, and sustainable environment of a Christ-centered community.
Strategic Planning:
The Board will take a more active role in shaping AACC's priorities to continue to reflect the collective vision of the organization and its stakeholders.
We look forward to keeping our community updated with our growth and progress. We believe AACC continues to be strengthened and enabled to more effectively advance its mission and as a movement. Thank you again for your support. We value your partnership and look forward to continuing to work together to serve the Asian American Christian community.
Sincerely,
Soong-Chan Rah, Chair
Katharine Hsiao, Treasurer
Russell Jeung, Secretary
AACC Board of Directors
