Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) Leadership Council

Purpose Statement

AANHPI Leadership Council is a representative voice of the AANHPI communities with a responsibility to provide advice to Compassion & Choices and to support its mission to empower, educate and advocate for end-of-life choices for all communities, especially as it uniquely pertains to the AANHPI Communities.

Objectives

  1. On an annual basis, or as needed for new initiatives, the Council will review and advise on the initiatives of Compassion & Choices so that its research, policy and advocacy agenda, and community education efforts reflect the culture and needs of the AANHPI communities.
  2. On an on-going basis, the Council commits to supporting the work of Compassion & Choices within and on behalf of the AANHPI communities in these three primary areas: education, advocacy, empowerment.
