Message from AABDC I extend my congratulations to the recipients of the 2012 Outstanding 50 Asian Americans in Business Award, the Lifetime Achievement Award and the Pinnacle Award for their unflinching determination to succeed, and for their many accomplishments.

Tonight’s honorees will join the ranks of over 450 high achieving individuals who have been honored at the annual Outstanding 50 Award Gala since 2001. They represent a microcosm of the best of Asian American entrepreneurship and professionalism, with a pool of diverse and multi-talented individuals engaged in a wide range of business interests. The depth and breadth of their business undertakings clearly demonstrate that Asian Americans are an integral part of the larger economy. Asian American entrepreneurs have multilingual and multicultural backgrounds that make them ideally suited to helping the U.S. stay competitive in the global economy. Corporations can leverage their Asian American professionals within their ranks to enhance business in Asia and broaden its own appeal as a global leader.

On this eleventh year of the Outstanding 50 Award Gala I am very thankful to our sponsors for their support, without which this event would not be possible. In particular, allow me to thank Alain Huy, Director of Marketing, North America for his generous gift of a Zenith watch to each recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award and Pinnacle Award.

Sincerely yours,

John WangPresident, AABDC
