APAICS Executive Director Daphne Kwok commented, “As APAICS seeks to inform Asian Pacific Americans and the greater community about the latest news in our community about civic participation, showcasing Asian Pacific American elected officials, demystifying the political process, and becoming a repository for APA political information, it is vital that we have a communications vehicle that is able to disseminate the information. That is why we have designed the APAICS website www.apaics.org so that it is user friendly and easy to navigate. In addition, we have designed the site in consideration of universal accessibility and ADA guidelines. We hope that the website will be a resource that will be well utilized.”
