We are excited to announce Courtney Chappell as AAPIP’s Vice President of Membership Programs! Courtney comes to us after completing consultancies with the White House Initiative on Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders (WHIAANHPI) and with Philanthropy Northwest. She has served in a variety of leadership roles, including as Policy & Programs Director at the National Asian Pacific American Women’s Forum where she spearheaded the organization’s reproductive justice program and developed an intersectional action.  During the Obama administration, Courtney served as Deputy Director at WHIAANHPI, creating a regional interagency working group that brought the federal government to the farthest corners of the country, linking local AA and NH/PI communities with federal services and programs. Courtney is passionate about using multiple strategies to promote racial and social justice. 

She will begin this new role on June 5th, but in the meantime, please join us in welcoming Courtney!
