AANHPI Heritage Month highlights Asian American Native Hawaiian Pacific Islanders, and at WPCCU we celebrate the diverse cultures who have helped enrich America’s history. Each of them are unique and it’s important to recognize their legacy, backgrounds, and traditions. We all have something to learn from each other to create a place of inclusion and belonging.
We proudly recognize and support the Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander communities. From sponsorships like the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power’s ASPIRE—an LADWP resource group that stands for AANHPIs supporting progress, inclusion and respect, and empowerment. Together we raise awareness through our outreach and workplaces.
Recognize and celebrate history
AANHPI Heritage Month is an annual celebration that recognizes the historical and cultural contributions that these special groups of descent made to the United States.
Join us in recognizing the talents, cultures and contributions of these special groups during the month of May. At the credit union our team members will be celebrating in various exciting ways to embrace the culture with weekly announcements of historical figures, ordering in lunch from surrounding small business owners, and honoring our AANHPI membership and leadership.
This year’s theme of AANHPI Heritage Month is “A Legacy of Leadership and Resilience,” honoring the hard work of AANHPI leaders who established a foundation for future generations to thrive and adapt to change and adversity. This is represented by bamboo as a symbol of strength, endurance, and resilience for its ability to withstand the harshest conditions. Bamboo’s solid foundation ensures it can bend with the wind and stand tall after the storm passes.
