“How to Say Who You Are and What You Do in 20 Words or Less” with Rebecca Okamoto and McKesson PAVE
2016-02-22 11:30 - 13:30
The ability to communicate effectively is a foundational and critical leadership skill.
Communications expert and former P&G executive Rebecca Okamoto (www.evoke.pro) will be leading a workshop on “How to Say Who You Are and What You Do in 20 Words or Less”. Research says that we have less than 10 seconds to make the right first impression.

Care for a Drink? Presented by AADP and DFAC
2016-02-19 18:00 - 22:00 | The Grand, 520 4th Street, San Francisco, CA, 94107, United States
Join Asian American Donor Program (AADP), Drink for a Cause,Taiwanese American Professionals – San Francisco Chapter (TAP-SF), and ABL-SF (Asian Business League of San Francisco) for a happy hour networking event on Friday, February 19 at The Grand San Francisco. Network and mingle with young professionals.
Donations will be collected at the door. This event is 21+

Your contributions will assist AADP with covering the cost of registering new bone marrow donors into the Be The Match Registry. You can help fund the cause so that more people can register as a donor and potentially help save a life
AADP’s goal is to give the chance to register everyone who is able and willing– especially in the minority community. It costs $100 in testing lab fees and admin costs to enter one donor into the Be the Match Registry bone marrow/stem cell. This cost is now paid for by a combination of donations from the community and a grant from HRSA. However, these funds are not inexhaustible. We need more help from the community and individuals like you to continue to make donor registration accessible to everyone.
For any questions, email ruby@aadp.org or call 510-568-3700.

Entrepreneurs Dinner Hosted by TAP-SF
2016-02-15 18:30 - 21:30 | Tai Wu Restaurant, 300 El Camino Real, Millbrae, CA, 94030, United States
Meet fellow entrepreneurs over a relaxing dinner and make new friends! Don’t forget to bring your business cards! Many of us entrepreneurial Asians face unique challenges, as entrepreneurship isn’t amongst the holy Asian trinity of doctor, lawyer, or engineer. The newly formed EntreAsians community hopes to bring entrepreneurial Asians together to help, support, and cultivate each other to reach our potential in a culture that at times clashes with being an entrepreneur. If you’re an entrepreneur, wantrepreneur, semi-preneur, or whatever-preneuer, join us for a mixer to meet other like minded Asians and learn more about this new group!
COST : Pay for what you order (aka dutch)
TO RSVP : Email rebecca.lam@tap-sf.org
