As part of our mission to inform society and empower communities, Leadership Education for Asian Pacifics, Inc. (LEAP) launched a research initiative in 2009 to assess the current Asian and Pacific Islander (API) representation at the highest levels of leadership positions in different sectors of our society with the objective to establish a baseline from which to measure and compare the different sectors’ progress (or lack thereof) within their diversity and inclusion efforts with respect to the API community. Through our API Leadership Research Series reports and our direct involvement with organizations to develop a robust pipeline of leaders through our programs, LEAP continues to do its part to shed light on the critical need for more representation of APIs in leadership roles.
