Meet the NAAAP Detroit Team 2016-2017

The Team 2016-2017 served as the Founding Committee to establish this premier Association of Asian American Professionals in the Greater Detroit area. In the short two years since our founding, the team had recruited many talented leaders and produced a strong organization with unique programming relevant to our membership. As the Founding President Ke Zhang-Miske (Coco) moved on to her new career in California, the NAAAP Detroit Team was full of hope that the good thing Coco had started here in Detroit would continue to thrive and blossom, benefiting our members and our communities as we committed to learning, growing, contributing and celebrating each other’s successes as an authentic community.  (December 31, 2017)
