OCA-Chicago hosted its annual gala on Saturday, November 19th, 2011 to honor individuals and corporations that have contributed to the advancement of Asian Americans.
At the gala, OCA-Chicago awarded $20,000 of scholarships
to eight college-bound high-school students.
OCA is the first Asian Pacific American social justice organization to be headquartered (1973) in Washington, D.C. And first to establish a permanent building (2006) in the nation’s capital.
It is a national non-profit, non-partisan organization dedicated to advancing the social, political, and economic well-being of Asian Pacific Americans in the United States.
Founded in 1973 as the Organization of Chinese Americans, OCA aims to embrace the hopes and aspirations of Asian Pacific Americans in the United States.
OCA is engaged in organizing its over 80 chapters and college affiliates across the nation to develop both leadership and community involvement. OCA chapters and our college affiliates are establishing strong local programs in all parts of the country.
OCA’s base in Washington, D.C. Gives the national office an effective vantage point for monitoring legislation and policy issues affecting Asian Pacific Americans. In addition, OCA is able to build national support and to work in coalition with other national groups around issues affecting Asian Pacific Americans.
OCA takes no collective position on the politics of any foreign country, but instead focuses on the welfare and civil rights of Asian Pacific Americans in the United States.
