Joel possesses years of experience in the finance and in policy administration. What he envisions for ACAS is to continue expanding the organization’s strong membership base and to widening the agency’s appeal to a broader audience. He truly believesit is critical for every non-profit organization to have a strong membership and volunteer base, thus he is committed to bringing in young blood to the organization to further strengthen the agency’s future.

This year has been an exciting year for ACAS. After celebrating our 20 th anniversary in May at the CelebrAsian 20 th Anniversary Fundraising Gala in May, we once again took part in Pride in full force with our members, volunteers, allies, staff, and community supporters. Aside from taking part in all three marches at this year’s WorldPride—the Trans March on June 27, Dyke March on June 28, and the Pride Parade with our special ACAS Red and White Float on June 29—our youths had also put up an amazing Fortune Queer Cookies show at the WorldPride QAY Cabaret Stage. With about 100 contingents marching and showing our pride and our specially choreographed dancers on our float, we certainly created many wonderful memories for all those involved.
