The annual Asian Heritage Awards is produced by the Asian Heritage Society, a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit corporation, founded in 2005 to preserve the legacy of Asian Americans and develop tomorrow’s leaders by advancing their prospects for success. AHS promotes understanding between cultures, recognizes the achievements of Asian and
Pacific Islander Americans through the annual Asian Heritage Awards and helps young people prepare for their futures through its BOOSTEM program. Asia Media America is the media arm detailing the work of the Asian Heritage Society and its programs while it informs readers about major changes in science, technology and business and recognizes the relationship between Asia and the United States in all its ramifications. The Asian Heritage Society also produces Make It In America as a means taking back our economy.
