OCA Chapters are trusted voices and leaders in their communities, providing advocacy and representation as well as curated spaces to celebrate AAPI history and culture. OCA Chapters will submit project proposals for existing or new programs to serve their local communities, AAPI and beyond.

When you join the Presidents Circle Initiative, you contribute to a giving circle that will provide funds for both the OCA National Internship Program and OCA Chapters’ programming. This will continue our efforts to build a pipeline of AAPI leaders in all sectors of society and strong AAPI presence at the local and national levels.

As a PCI Member, you will be directly involved in the impact that OCA Chapters make. PCI Members are invited to attend the PCI Pitch Competition, during which OCA Chapters will present their project proposals. Afterwards, PCI Members will vote to decide which OCA Chapters will be funded through the giving circle.
