The National Association of Asian-American Professionals has named UBC president Santa Ono as one of the recipients of this year's NAAAP 100 award.
The NAAAP is a non-profit leadership development organization that aims to empower Asian and Pacific Islander leaders and provide members with tools for career advancement. The NAAAP 100 recognition is given to leaders whom the organization feel represent both their vision and values.
The award will be presented at the NAAAP Gala dinner and awards ceremony on August 13 in Las Vegas. President Ono is one of the four confirmed attendants, alongside Omar Ishrak, Thomas Park Clement, Juju Chang and Dr. Victor Dzau.
According to his biography on the NAAAP's website, President Ono has been a partner of the NAAAP's Cincinnati chapter and provided a keynote at their National Academy in Cincinnati last year.
