I extend my congratulations to the amazing recipients of the 2016 Outstanding 50 Asian Americans in Business Award and to the two Pinnacle Award recipients, for their unflinching determination to succeed, and for their many accomplishments.

Tonight, as we celebrate the twenty second anniversary of Asian American Business Development Center and the fifteenth anniversary of the Outstanding 50 Asian Americans in Business Award Gala, the award recipients will join the ranks of almost 700 high achieving individuals who have been honored at this prestigious event since 2001. They represent a microcosm of the best of Asian American entrepreneurship and professionalism, with a pool of diverse and multi-talented individuals engaged in a wide range of business interests. The depth and breadth of their business undertak-ings clearly demonstrate that Asian Americans are an integral part of the larger economy. Asian American entrepreneurs have multilingual and multicultural backgrounds that make them ideally suited to help-ing the U.S. stay competitive in the global economy. Corporations can leverage their Asian American professionals within their ranks to enhance business in Asia and broaden their reputation as a global leader.

Finally, I would like to thank all our sponsors for their support, especially our Marquee Sponsor The Venetian, without which this event would not be possible.

Sincerely yours,

John WangPresident, AABDC
