APEN+ is Elevating Asian Professionals
Advancing together through allyship
As we celebrate Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, our Asian Professional Engagement Network+ (APEN+) is uplifting its members through its Spotlight Month theme, Aspire, Amplify. Act: Elevating Our Community Through Allyship. This theme is reflected in events and initiatives taking place throughout May as well as through APEN+’s ongoing efforts to support its members through career expansion, member and ally engagement and community.
APEN+ members and allies are encouraged to aspire to a fulfilling career, amplify their own voices and the voices of others, and act to deliver excellent work in all they do. Through these acts of advocacy and allyship, Asian professionals can come together, embrace diversity and learn from each other’s stories. Allyship is one of the aspects of a culture that fosters community and belonging.
With more than 2,900 members, APEN+ is a diverse community with a global presence across the United States, the Philippines and India. Members engage with APEN+ throughout the year through town hall events, a speaker series that features Synchrony’s senior leaders, open office hours with APEN+ leaders, well-being check-ins, festivals and celebrations and more! These events foster a sense of belonging and understanding of the different cultures that are represented in APEN+.
