Our Mission

Our mission is to unite Asian, Asian American, and Pacific Islander communities to drive economic growth and foster community development across Iowa.

Our vision is an Iowa where our communities are central to the state's cultural and economic success.

We partner with both the public and private sectors to promote:

  • Business and economic growth

  • Cultural and community vitality

  • Leadership development and educational opportunities

  • Civic engagement and responsibility

In advancing our mission, IAA represents and collaborates with a diverse range of AAPI communities, including—but not limited to: ethnic minorities from Burma, Cambodian, Chinese, Hmong, Indian, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean, Lao, Marshallese, Micronesian, Nepalese, Filipino, Tai Dam, Thai, Vietnamese, and more.

IAA is committed to embracing the diversity that shapes Iowa’s evolving cultural landscape, ensuring our communities have a unified voice and contribute to our collective success.
