The Asian American & Pacific Islanders Commission (AAPIC) is a permanent body dedicated to advocacy on behalf of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders throughout Massachusetts. The Commission’s goal is to recognize and highlight the vital contributions of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders to the social, cultural, economic, and political life of the Commonwealth; to identify and address the needs and challenges facing residents of Asian and Pacific Islander ancestry; and to promote the well-being of this dynamic and diverse community, thereby advancing the interests of all persons who call Massachusetts home.
