National and State Leadership Advocacy & Legislation Position
VACC is the oldest, largest, and only statewide organization representing Asian American business and professional community in Virginia with members from Pennsylvania, Maryland, Metro DC area, and Massachusetts. A Virginia-based business advocacy organization, VACC however has a strong national and state legislative leadership position among national Asian American business and community at large.
Founded in 2005, VACC has developed deep connections and relationships with both executive and legislative leaders in Virginia, regional and statewide industry associations, and economic policy think tanks. These organizations offer us guidance on economic, workforce development for both domestic and global business. They in turn look up to us for insights on important issues affecting Asia and Asian American businesses and communities at large in Virginia.
VACC has a vast alliance with national, state, and regional community, business, cultural, and professional communities throughout the Commonwealth of Virginia, in DC area at the national level, working with hundreds of grass roots organizations from 37 Asian countries beyond traditional North Asia and South Asia. This alliance allows VACC as a statewide Asian grass roots Chamber of Commerce to develop and implement electric business programs as well as playing a pivotal advocacy role on behalf of 47,500 Asian owned businesses in Virginia through regional chapters in Ashland, Mc Lean, Chantilly, Charlottesville, Richmond,and Newport News.
