Letter from the President of ARC

Welcome to learning about the Asian Roundtable of Colorado (ARC). 

We care about supporting all AANHPI and other communities and ensuring they have the resources they need to fully participate in Colorado’s vibrant and diverse society. 

The Colorado Asian community has expanded many fold over the years since the inception of the ARC. If you notice a gap or need in our communities that isn’t being met, we’d love to hear from you so we can work together to find solutions that help everyone feel welcome and encouraged to get involved at every level of society. 

Please consider joining ARC to lead, volunteer, and learn about Colorado’s rich tapestry of cultures. You can also make a donation to help us continue our meaningful work supporting and uplifting our communities as we grow and integrate with our community-at-large. Being involved as an ARC member truly makes a difference!

Sincerely,

George Kuwamura

ARC Board President

We rely on ambassadors and informal meetings to build bridges primarily through joint cultural celebrations. Over the years, many meaningful programs were held to support the growing diverse Asian immigrants. These include Asian month cultural celebrations, forums to address AANHPI education, economics, business, language, health and other pertinent issues, a CO Asian Video series on people and issues, political candidates forum, newsletter, and community program support and funding.
