A newly designed program for 2022, LEAP Connect is a new Target-sponsored program by LEAP (Leadership Education For Asian Pacifics). LEAP Connect aims to bring both needed and inspirational leadership dialogues to the API community. Through a series of accessible monthly leadership conversations, trainings, networking opportunities and more, participants build the tools and resources needed to inspire change within their personal and professional communities.
To kick-off LEAP Connect, Maum’s Founding Director Dr. Park will host a special virtual screening of K-Town ‘92: Reporters, a short documentary film by Grace Lee & Eurie Chung (distributed by GOOD DOCS) that looks at the city-wide uprising that erupted in 1992 after the acquittal of Los Angeles Police Department officers who brutally beat Black motorist Rodney King.
