SUMMARY:JapanFest 2025
DESCRIPTION:The mission of JapanFest is to improve understanding and appreciation of linkages between Japanese and Americans residing in the Southeastern United States through an annual salute to Japanese culture and friendship entitled JapanFest.  \n\n\n\nThis celebration will promote multicultural education\, encourage social harmony\, and ensure the cultural integrity of JapanFest by providing an appropriate mix of authentic contemporary and traditional programs on Japanese art and culture. Activities include a wide variety of performing arts\, demonstrations\, hands-on workshops\, and exhibitions.  \n\n\n\nThese grassroots efforts are coordinated by the Japanese Chamber of Commerce of Georgia and The Japan-America Society of Georgia and implemented by a host of community volunteers.  \n\n\n\nJapanFest is committed to organizing a self-sustaining event\, supported in part by non-Japanese Chamber of Commerce and non-Japan-America Society of Georgia members\, and provides meaningful support to educational endeavors in Georgia. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nGet Tickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n	From the archive:

SUMMARY:White House Initiative -- AA and NHPI Economic Summit
DESCRIPTION:On Wednesday\, January 10\, 2024\, the White House Initiative on Asian Americans\, Native Hawaiians\, and Pacific Islanders (WHIAANHPI) will host its sixth 2023-24 Asian American\, Native Hawaiian\, and Pacific Islander (AA and NHPI) Economic Summit in Duluth\, GA with participation from the White House and federal agencies. The events are being held in collaboration with the Small Business Administration\, U.S. Department of the Treasury\, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization\, the National Asian / Pacific Islander American Chamber of Commerce & Entrepreneurship\, and other federal agencies. Please note that this is a re-scheduled Economic Summit that was originally planned for October 6\, 2023. \nLanguage barriers and limited outreach have historically held AA and NHPIs back from applying for federal procurement\, jobs\, grants\, and programs. Although approximately 10 percent of small businesses in the U.S. are AA and NHPI-owned\, only 2.8 percent of federal contracting dollars went to AA and NHPI small businesses in Fiscal Year 2020\, according to the Small Business Administration. In May 2021\, President Joe Biden re-established and reinvigorated WHIAANHPI through Executive Order 14031. The Initiative’s whole-of-government approach engages federal agencies to improve interagency policymaking\, program development\, and outreach\, and address barriers impacting AA and NHPIs across the country. \n\n\n	From the archive:
