AASoCV’s book project, “Portraits of Immigrant Voices”, has opened the doors to the highest office in the land, The White House, for our organization. On September 30, 2022, AASoCV’s Chair, Julie Laghi and her husband Franco along with Vice Chair Drew Armada, presented the book to Erika Moritsugu, Deputy Assistant to President Joe Biden, and to Hari Chon, AA and NHPI Policy Advisor at the Office of the Chief of Staff of The White House. We, and our 19 member Asian communities in Central VA, are all proud of this accomplishment.
