20 years. One community. Countless leaders.

We came together to celebrate a meaningful milestone — the 20th Anniversary of Asian Corporate & Entrepreneur Leaders - ACEL National.

What made the evening truly special wasn’t just the milestone, but the people. Hearing reflections from our community — about connection, mentorship, and a true sense of belonging — reinforces what ACEL has stood for over the past two decades.

From longtime members to new faces, from entrepreneurs to corporate leaders, it was powerful to see so many individuals and communities come together — building relationships, supporting one another, and continuing to grow a strong, inclusive network.

As we kicked off AAPI Heritage Month, it was a reminder of the impact we can create when we invest in leadership and community.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and to those who continue to be part of this journey. Your support is what makes ACEL what it is today.

We’re just getting started.
