This year, the Asian Affinity Connection ERG has partnered with NAAAP (The National Association of Asian American Professionals) to host a two-part series of events surrounding Asians in the agricultural field within Minnesota. Our goal is to shed light on Asian farmers and the positive impact that they have within the Minnesota community.

With that, you are invited to an on-farm tour! We’ve partnered with HAFA (Hmong American Farmers Association) Farms to provide a hands-on farm experience as part of our first event within this series. This tour will include education and learning about the history, art, and lived experiences of our local Hmong American farmers that many of you are familiar to be the heart and soul of our beloved Farmer’s Markets.

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 2021

With so many divisive forces battering us from all directions, what can Asian American professional women do to find and support allies across race? The Together series, in partnership with U.S. Bank, will kick off with a conversation about allyship between Black and Asian colleagues in our workplaces. Some enterprise resource groups focus on specific diverse groups (eg Black Employee Network and East-West Exchange for Asian colleagues) and others provide a forum for multiple diverse groups (eg Diverse Colleagues Enterprise Resource Group). What opportunities, insights and challenges do these differently focused enterprise groups see? How can our enterprise resource groups continue to push forward to build Black-Asian allyship?
