We feel honored to take part in this fabulous party which acknowledge and congratulate the achievements of Asian business men and women, and we are very proud of these wise people who made the outstanding accomplishment and contribution to the economy despite adversity and the tough environment.

This year’s theme is “Developing Asian Talent and Leadership in the Global Marketplace” which reflect the rise of Asia in the world marketplace. Just as featured speaker Dr. Vishakha N. Desai who is the president of Asia Society, said “Forty year ago, nobody pay much attention of the Asian entity, but now they are helping power the engine of the economy. And the depth and breadth of their undertaking clearly demonstrate that Asian Americans are an integral part of the larger economy. ”

I enjoy this kind of happy atmosphere, and stay with these people who have wise and unique minds, you’ll feel that you could be one of them one day. And it’s really a good opportunity to make network by talking to the people who have different backgrounds.

This annual event, now in its eighth year, is the only forum to highlight the achievements of Asian Americans across the United States. The awards are not only to honor the individuals, but to encourage the development of talent and leadership among Asian American corporate executives. Over 500 guests attended the 2008 awards dinner with 50 honorees representing a variety of Asian ethnic backgrounds, including Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Indian, Thai and Vietnamese. The Pinnacle Award, which is awarded to the person who has reached the top of his/her field, was given to Wei Sun Christianson this year, who is an Executive Director and Beijing Chief Representative of Morgan Stanley.
