11am to Noon: DATA AND RESEARCH IN AAPI COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS
There is a growing amount of data being put out at the federal and state levels. How are community organizations (including many NCAPA members) making sense of the data and using compelling data points in their policy advocacy and media outreach?
Following last year’s format, we will have brief presentations from various organizations, with 30 minutes of discussion afterwards.
Moderator: Mini Timmaraju, National Director, NCAPA

Noon to 1:30: TURNING DATA INTO NARRATIVE: IMPROVING OUR MEDIA AND POLICY STRATEGY
The problem used to be that we didn’t have much data on Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders. Today, we have made significant advances on the data side. But this has not produced a corresponding increase in media coverage or attention by policymakers at the state or national level. How do we more effectively turn data and research into effective outreach?
This panel will provide reflections and strategic advice on how to better get our information into the media and policy bloodstream.
Panelists:
Kristal Ka’ai, Executive Director, Congressional APA Caucus
Hari Sreenivasan, Anchor, PBS Newshour
Sona Simran Kaur, Communications Director, SALDEF
Carrie Pugh, Campaigns Manager, National Education Association
Moderator: Richard Lui, Anchor and Reporter, MSNBC
