About the Asian American & Pacific Islander Initiative
On May 13, 2004, President Bush signed Amendment to Executive Order 13125 on 'Increasing Participation of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in Federal Programs' to improve the quality of life of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPIs) through increased participation in federal programs where they are underserved. The Executive Order calls on all federal departments to mobilize their resources to address the unmet needs of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders.
The Executive Order established the President's Advisory Commission on Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, Federal Interagency Working Group, and the Office of the White House Initiative on Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders. Within EPA, the Office of Administration and Resources Management is the designated lead office for the Federal Interagency Working Group.
The Environmental Protection Agency strongly supports the White House Initiative on Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders. The agency is committed to protecting AAPI individuals from environmental risks to their health and the communities in which they live, learn, and work.
