Celebrating the entrepreneurial spirit that drives the Asian business community.
For seven years, USPAACC and Wells Fargo held a very successful Asian Business Leadership Awards program (ABLA) that proudly celebrated the success of the Asian business community and the entrepreneurial spirit that drives robust growth and success in the marketplace.
Each year in May, during the CelebrASIAN Business Opportunity Conference and in celebration of Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, the USPAACC/Wells Fargo ABLA recognized three winners selected from a nationwide pool of applicants and evaluated on their business vision, success, and community contributions. Each winner received national recognition, a $5,000 cash grant, and a trophy.
This award not only focused on the accomplishments of our winners — it highlighted the essence of what entrepreneurs can accomplish as productive and innovative members of our community. The winners have a business model that works. More important, they have the spirit of responsibility to be leaders in their community.
