Monday - January 21, 2008

On behalf of the Board of Directors of KAC-Chicago (KACC), I extend our warmest greetings for the happiest of holidays and hope that your new year is off to a great start!

For those of you who are getting to know us, we offer Korean American young professionals in the metropolitan Chicagoland area various opportunities to network, socialize, and serve the local Korean American community. We are also a part of a national network of chapters to empower, educate and organize.

Year 2008 marks the 5th year of operations for us here in Chicago. Our major projects this year include:

• Analysis & publication of our 2007 Metropolitan Chicago Korean American Community Survey
• 2008 Chicago Korean American Community Forum
• Voter education for the presidential elections
• KAC-National Spring Conference in Los Angeles, CA (April 2008)
• 10th Annual KAAN (Korean American Adoptee & Adoptive Family Network) Conference in Chicago, IL (July 18-20, 2008)
• KAC-National Convention in Seattle, WA (Oct 2008)
• General membership & fundraising events (monthly basis)

Over the years I've been involved with KAC-Chicago, it has evolved into family for me - one which I could not imagine my life without. I hope you'll take a chance and join us at one of our events. Come see what we're about and what a difference it'll make in your Korean American experience.

2007 Metropolitan Chicago Korean American Community Survey

Friday - November 16, 2007

Dear Friends of KAC-Chicago (KACC):

We are conducting a community-wide survey to develop a general overview of Chicago’s Korean American community. This report will be used to raise the profile of our community with local leaders, politicians and organizations, as well as for education and advocacy purposes.

We will be collecting surveys until December 31, 2007. We hope to have a sample size of 1,000+ surveys. Surveys are available in both English and Korean.

If you are interested in participating please let us know at kacchicago@gmail.com.

Your participation and identity will be kept anonymous.

Thank you,
KACC Board of Directors
