Untold numbers of Asian Americans give their time, talent, voice and resources to help strengthen the community in Miami-Dade County. Fostering understanding through education; encouraging active participation in civic engagement; promoting and strengthening economic development; and promoting and encouraging cultural advancement, Asian Americans are vigorously engaged to assist others to transform ourselves and the community around us.

These benefits could not be available if it were not for kindness and generosity of few dedicated people amongst us. Moreover, it is only appropriate for the community to recognize these distinguished individuals for their contributions. The Asian American Advisory Board (AAAB) Community Recognition Award is to appreciate and acknowledge these individuals for their outstanding contributions.
