APA representation in governmentInMaryland,APAsaccountfor5%ofthetotalpopula-tion.Incertainlocaljurisdictions,likeMontgomeryandHowardcounties,APAsmakeupnearly15%ofthetotalpopulation. In State government, there are currently no APAsservingincabinetlevelpositions,andonlyfourAPAelectedofficials.OnepercentofStategovernmentem-ployeesareAPA,and5%ofMontgomeryCountyemploy-ees are APA.
Recommendations:•Holdagencyheadsaccountablefordiversityhir-
ing. Use StateStat as a tool to measure and track progress
•PromotetheappointmentofmoreAPAstoboardsand commissions
•AssisttheGovernor’sAppointmentsOfficeinidenti-fyingtalentedandqualifiedcandidatesforappoint-ments

Participation in the Political ProcessInmanyways,theAPAcommunityisfragmentedpoliti-callyanddoesnottakeadvantageofitsaggregatesizetoinfluencestateandlocalpolitics.APAsmustbecomemore actively engaged in the political process and partner with other ethnic communities to command the attention ofelectedofficials.
Recommendations:•Meetwithstateandlocalelectedofficialstoraise

tentionofelectedofficialsandpolicymakers•StrengthenAPAcommunitiesindifferentareasof

Annual Report 2007
EDUCATION, HEALTHCARE AND AGING
outreachOutreachtoadiverseAPAcommunitythatencompassesmanydifferentlanguagesandculturalnormsisahugechallenge. There is not enough long-term investment and consistency in government outreach and education targeted to the APA community. As a result, there is a lackofknowledgeandunderstandingoftheservicesandprograms that are available. Translation and interpretation servicesareoftennotavailableorinadequate,creatinganartificialbarriertogovernmentresources.
lack of data collectionThereisatremendouslackofresearchanddataontheAPAcommunity,particularlyintheareaofhealthcare.ThelackofdataaffectstheunderstandingoftheimpactsandqualityofservicesfortheAPAcommunity.
Recommendations:• Promote more academic research programs like the AsianAmericanStudiesProgramattheUniversityofMaryland
•Encouragecollectionofracebaseddata,particularlyin health care impacts and services
Recommendations:•ExamineandimprovetheState’slanguageaccesspolicybyprovidingarangeoflanguageresources(suchasavolunteerinterpreterbank,morebilingualemployees,andtelephonelanguagelines)tohelpresidentswithlimitedEnglishproficiencytobetterac-cess government programs and services
• Provide more translated materials, particularly at pointsofaccess
• Train government employees who interact directly with the public to become more culturally sensitive
•Encouragethehiringofmorebilingualemployees,andprovideinterpretertrainingandcertification

Health disparitiesThehealthneedsofunder-representedgroupsareagrow-ingproblemthatmustbeaddressed.APAsexperienceahighrateofdeathfromstomach,liverandcervicalcancer.ThereisalsoahighrateofhepatitisBamongAPAs.Thereisalackofculturallyandlinguisticallyproficienthealth-careproviderswhichaffectsqualityofcare,andthisproblem is especially pronounced in mental health.
Recommendations:•Educatehealthcareprovidersonthevalueofalter-
native medicine such as acupuncture•Increasefundingforhealthcarefornewimmigrants•ConductbettereducationaboutAPAmentalhealth
needs•Encourageculturalproficiencytrainingforhealth-
care providers•Streamlinecertificationandaccreditationprocessesforforeign-trainedhealthcareprofessionals
•CreateonlinedirectoryofAPAorganizationsandindividuals that provide culturally and linguistically proficientservices
Aging challengesAs the aging population increases, there are long waiting listsforservicesforseniors.TheelderlyintheAPAcom-munityfaceevengreaterchallengesbecauseoflanguagebarriers,culturalgaps,andlackoftransportation,whichresults in reduced access to programs and services and anincreasedfeelingofisolation.
Recommendations:• Make senior programs more accessible, including
senior employment and volunteer programs, so that seniors can remain active
• Develop culturally competent long-term care and as-sistedlivingfacilitiesandretirementhomesforthegrowing elderly APA population
• Provide more culturally and linguistically diverse programsforseniors
• Provide more ethnic dishes in senior nutrition pro-grams
• Foster collaboration among community service providers that serve seniors in ethnic minority com-munities

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT
networkingIt is important to network with other business owners and governmentofficialswhocanprovidetechnicalexpertiseandhelpexpandbusinessopportunities.Usually,familymembersandfriendsinthecommunityhelpwithinitialbusiness start up, as many APAs own small businesses. Many government programs are available to assist small businesses,butAPAbusinessownersoftendonotknowaboutthem.Chambersofcommerceandtradeorganiza-tions can also be important.
Recommendations:•ConductbetteroutreachtoAPAbusinessowners,
including advertising in ethnic newspapers•Organizemeetingswithtradeorganizationsandchambersofcommerce
• Promote business incubators and other small busi-ness development programs
• Provide better translation and interpretation services to eliminate language barriers
minority Business enterprise ProgramStateandlocalgovernmentsmustdoabetterjobofprovid-ing outreach and technical assistance to APAs, particularly forminoritybusinesscertificationandgovernmentcon-tracting.TheMinorityBusinessEnterprise(MBE)programisstructuredtobenefitAfricanAmericanandwomen-owned businesses, and greater attention to other ethnic groups should be emphasized.
Recommendations:•EstablishMBEgoalsforAPAbusinesses•Arrangemeetingswithgovernmentprocurementoffi-

emergency PreparednessAPAsareoftenslowerthanotherminoritygroupstoseekhelp in an emergency. Many in the APA community simply do not know what it takes to be prepared. Emergency preparednessliteratureisavailableinmanydifferentlan-guagesfromorganizationsliketheAmericanRedCross,butmanyAPAsdonotknowtheyevenexist.Volunteerreception centers are available to coordinate and direct those who want to volunteer in an emergency, and bilin-gualvolunteersareoftenneeded.Partnershipsneedtobeformedbetweenemergencymanagementofficialsandcommunity organizations.
Recommendations:•Makeemergencypreparednessinformationmorereadilyavailableindifferentlanguages
• Promote volunteer language bank that could be a resource in emergencies
• Forge partnerships between emergency response agencies and APA community organizations
• Encourage APA community leaders to be more pro-active in seeking help when necessary
grants and capacity BuildingMost APA organizations are run by volunteers and lack sustainabilityandstability.Thenumberofnon-profitorganizations serving the APA community is very small in proportiontothesizeofthecommunity.Moregrantsareneeded to help build capacity among APA organizations to moreeffectivelyrunprogramsandservicesandfillgapsingovernmentresources.Communityleadersneedtolearnwheretofindgrantsthatmatchtheirprogramneeds,aswell as how to write winning grant applications. More rela-tionships must be established with mainstream organiza-tions that are looking to partner with ethnic organizations that can reach underserved communities.
Recommendations:•Helpformmoreorganizationsthatcanaddressethnic-specificneeds
•WorkwithGovernor’sGrantsOfficetopromoteavailable training workshops and other resources to researchandapplyforgrantopportunities
•Helpcommunityleadersandgrantwriterstocon-nectwithappropriatepointsofcontactatStateagenciesandprivatefoundations
•Promotenon-profitorganizationsasameanstobuild community, coordinate volunteer activity, and leverage community resources
• Encourage smaller organizations to partner with more sophisticated, well-established organizations that can provide mentorship
Public safetyDomestic violence is a serious issue in the APA commu-nity, but it is not discussed in public because it is seen asapersonalissue.Morerecruitmentofbilingualpoliceofficerswouldhelpbuildbetterrelationsbetweenlawen-forcementandthecommunity,andencourageimmigrantcommunitiestobetterreportcrimes.Withincreaseingang activity, it is also important to keep children engaged in productive activities.
Recommendations:• Encourage partnerships and dialogue between law enforcementandcommunityorganizations
•Conductoutreacheventsatcommunitymeetingstorecruitmorebilingualofficers
• Provide education about domestic violence in vari-ous languages, and provide culturally and linguisti-callycompetentservicesforvictims
•Investinafterschoolprogramsforchildren
