WHAT IS THE POLICY SUMMIT?
AREAA's Housing Policy Summit is the leading event for Asian American homeownership advocacy. As the new administration and Congress begin their tenure, it is important to make sure that the political and economic opportunity within our community is not forgotten. Our country's most prominent politicians, real estate industry leaders, and top AANHPI advocates will be in attendance. Network and connect with the most passionate AREAA members from 45 chapters across the country. Held during Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, the Diversity & Fair Housing Summit is your opportunity to lead on behalf of your community and collaborate with other leaders.

WHY SHOULD I ATTEND?
AREAA's Housing Policy Summit is a chance to meet with our representatives in government and advocate for policy initiatives that promote AANHPI homeownership. Attendees will receive training, attend appointments with their lawmakers as representatives of AREAA, and network with experts in the public policy field. It is an opportunity and a privilege to be able to effectuate changes within our community, and each year this event continues to bring in a record-breaking group of attendees, partners, and speakers.
