National Asian/Pacific Islander Council,The National Asian Pacific Islander Council (NAPIC) was established in 2007 to provide a national body for Asian/Pacific Islander constituents of community colleges to have the opportunity to affiliate and identify in the interest of more effective education.
As an affiliate organization of the American Association of Community Colleges (AACC), NAPIC is a non-profit, charitable, and educational organization. It is organized to operate for educational purposes, including access to quality education for Asian/Pacific Islanders, the enhancement of our pluralistic society, advocacy and policy, and the development of the nation’s total human resources.
NAPIC directs its efforts toward matters that include curriculum, data collection, dissemination and research, communication with its members and with the AACC, development of recommendations to the AACC, and development of collaborative efforts with other segments of the Asian/Pacific Islander Community and others contributing to the same interest and cause.
NAPIC is committed to promoting professional development of Asian/Pacific Islander Leadership within colleges in the United States, support services for Asian/Pacific Islander students, and implementing and expanding meaningful action programs.
