Dear AAPA Supporter:

The AAPA Board is excited to share a series of upcoming initiatives and leadership updates planned for 2025 and 2026.

Our core mission—to inspire personal and professional success for all participants in AAPA programs—remains unchanged. The following updates reflect our continued commitment to that mission and our belief that we can go even farther, together.

We’re strengthening some of our most impactful offerings:

Mentorship Program: New training modules will be added to deepen the learning experience.
Board Leadership Program: This will include more advanced content tailored for experienced board leaders.
Speaker Lineup: We’re expanding our roster of speakers across all programs to bring fresh and diverse perspectives.

Board Leadership Transition

After 2.5 years of exceptional service, Andrew Cheung will transition out of his role as Board Chair. We’re grateful for Andrew’s steady leadership and are pleased to share that he will continue to serve on the board through the end of the year as Interim Past Board Chair.

We are thrilled to welcome Richard Cheung and Eric Quon-Lee as incoming Co-Chairs:

Richard Cheung is the founder of a successful chiropractic practice in Pasadena and brings a strong background in entrepreneurship and nonprofit leadership, with prior service to organizations like Friends In Deed (Immediate Past President) and LA’s Best Afterschool Enrichment Program (Advisory Board Member).
Eric Quon-Lee brings strategic and operational expertise from his experience in management consulting, finance, and operations at leading companies such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Visa, Deloitte, and RBC Financial Group.
