Unified across America, National CAABA will join forces and voices to create opportunities in the social and economic sectors for the Asian Pacific American business community.
Background
Asian Pacific American business owners have waited decades to have their voices heard on a national level. In December, 2000, about 30 heads of various Asian Pacific American business associations and chambers of commerce across the United States convened in Las Vegas, Nevada to meet for the first time. At that meeting, there was urgency in forming an organization that would serve as the voice of Asian Pacific American business owners in the United States. Thus was born the National Council of Asian American Business Associations.
The Asian Pacific American market is a growing community with a rapid increase of successful entrepreneurs. According to the 2001 Survey of Minority-Owned Business Enterprises, the number of Asian-owned businesses increased more than four times faster than the number of all U.S. firms, and their receipts also rose much more rapidly than all others. National CAABA is an organization committed to bringing together the Asian Pacific American business community to create a national voice.
