"We are very pleased that Mr. Duong has joined the HHS team," Secretary Thompson said. "We will work closely with him to improve the health and well-being of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders."

Established by an Executive Order in June 1999, the initiative addresses the concerns of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in a variety of areas, including health, education, labor, small business, housing and economic development.

"I look forward to working with the White House, Secretary Thompson and his staff to develop an agenda that will give Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders a strong voice in government," Duong said. "I am delighted to have this opportunity to serve my community and my country."

Prior to joining the Bush administration, Duong was vice president for Bridgecreek Development, a real estate development company headquartered in Orange County, Calif. He previously served as deputy director of California Gov. Pete Wilson's Office of Community Relations.

Duong served as a board member for the Contra Costa College Foundation, the Contra Costa County Workforce Development Board, the America Viet League, and the Vietnamese American Council. He is a graduate of the University of California, Davis. For more information on the initiative, please visit www.aapi.gov.
