In 1983, the board members of the Asian Cultural Center, the Asian Chamber of Commerce and the Asian Pacific Development Center spearheaded the effort to form the Asian Roundtable of Colorado (ARC). Since then, over 50 Asian organizations have participated in ARC discussions.

The goals include promoting unity among AAPI communities of Colorado, assisting to find solutions and to voice and act upon advocating these solutions, empower individuals of all our communities to achieve their personal, economic and community goals.

ARC is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization whose members are primarily AAPI community individuals and organizations. The members meet regularly to discuss interests and concerns of their communities and its members. The ARC does not seek to compete with other AAPI resources; instead, it provides a collaborative forum to address issues and develop programs that meet the ARC mission and goals.
