Hear From Our Employees: Celebrating Asian American, Native Hawaiian, And Pacific Islander (AANHPI) Heritage Month
Published
Hi Blackbaud Community,
We are excited to be celebrating Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) Heritage Month this May, in the US and Canada. The AANHPI community represents a rich ancestral history, spanning origins in more than 40 countries, with over 50 ethnicities, and over 100 languages and dialects. AANHPI Heritage Month is a time to recognize the remarkable accomplishments of the AANHPI community in the US and Canada, including their contributions to science and medicine, literature and art, sports and recreation, government and politics, and activism and law.
These contributions are also rooted in the traditions, cultures, and diverse stories of our Blackbaud employees. Read a few of their quotes below. Plus, be sure to check out The Buzz newsletter every week—one employee story will be featured in The Buzz every Wednesday for the remainder of the month.
