Fed Event: Korean Americans in a New Century
Wednesday, May 11th @ 10:45am-1:00pm | Guest Lecture and Luncheon
Korean Americans in a New Century
Speaker: Larry Hajime Shinagawa, Ph.D., Director, Asian American Studies Program, University of Maryland
Hosted by: Embassy of the Republic of Korea
Location: Korean Cultural Center (KORUS House) – 2370 Massachusetts Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20008
Contact/RSVP: Adam Wojciechowicz, AWOJ@koreaembassy.org or (202) 587-6168
Details Online: http://tinyurl.com/FORUM-RSVP02
OPEN, Korean lunch provided
DESCRIPTION:
The Korean American population has increased substantially in the past thirty years. As part of the Asian American Studies Program’s efforts to publicize the findings of Census 2010 and the American Community Survey of 2009, Dr. Larry Shinagawa and Mr. Chang Won Lee will be presenting the latest demographic and socio-economic information about the changing dimensions of the Korean American community. It is an excerpt of a much larger pan-Asian American press conference presentation that will be held during Asian Pacific American Heritage Month at the U.S. Capitol building. The size of the population, the growth rate, regional dispersion, socioeconomic status, and educational and occupational attainments of Korean Americans will be highlighted in this session. Unlike what many believe because of the model minority imagery, Korean Americans are highly diverse in their socioeconomic backgrounds. This presentation will demonstrate that Korean Americans are rapidly growing, are heterogeneous in their background, increasingly becoming dispersed and yet concentrated throughout the United States, and are quickly diversifying in their educational and occupational paths.
SPEAKER BIO:
Larry Hajime Shinagawa is the Director of the Asian American Studies Program at the University of Maryland and an Associate Professor of the Department of American Studies at the University of Maryland. An author of numerous books, articles, and research monographs, Dr. Shinagawa is widely recognized as one of the leading authorities on the demographics of Asian Americans. He currently serves on numerous national academic and non-profit boards related to the education and welfare of minorities and Asian Americans. He was recently appointed as the Commissioner of Immigration for the State of Maryland by Governor O’Malley.
Chang Won Lee is a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Sociology at the University of Maryland. His primary interest areas are Asian Americans, race relations in labor markets, and inequality and social mobility in a global perspective. He has published a peer-reviewed article in Ethnic Studies Review. He is currently working on his dissertation, which examines the effects of South Koreans’ international migration on their social mobility in global stratification. This dissertation project recently received a dissertation scholarship from the Research Center for Korean Community at Queens College.

Fed Event: Planning for Impact
9:00AM-12:30PM,RAFFA, 1899 L Street, NW, Sixth Floor, Washington DC
Washington Grantmakers and the Maryland School of Public Policy, in collaboration with the Association of Small Foundations, Present
"Planning for Impact"
Although all grantmakers strive for measurable impact, achieving organizational goals through giving is not a simple endeavor. Navigating the labyrinth of philanthropic action for impact requires a deliberate strategy, elucidation of rationale, and intentional action.
Join the Maryland School of Public Policy, with the Washington Grantmakers and the Association of Small Foundations to learn new strategies designed to gain skills necessary for making a meaningful and measurable impact. Co-facilitators Holli Rivera and Sara Beggs will guide you through the essential questions to formulate a clear and thoughtful plan for leveraging available resources to achieve your desired impact. This workshop will allow for hands-on work in small groups, peer mentoring, and coaching from faculty and will culminate with the tools that each of you will need to use this framework in future nonprofit endeavors and an excellent opportunity to network with local grantmakers.
Offering their expertise garnered from careers spent in the philanthropy and nonprofit sectors, and leadership in the field of ‘impact,’ this hands-on workshop will be led by:
Holli Rivera, President, Intentional Philanthropy, LLC; Rivera has worked for several years in the Washington area serving foundations and local organizations and is currently President of Intentional Philanthropy, LLC located in Bethesda, MD.
Sara Beggs, Sr. Program Manager, Association of Small Foundations; Beggs leads the “Getting to Impact” Series at the ASF and works to make the Internal Revenue Code accessible and understandable to foundations.
