Michigan's Asian Pacific American Affairs Commission will hold a
public meeting in the Kirkhof Center on the Allendale Campus of Grand
Valley on Friday, June 4.
The commission reports to Gov. Jennifer Granholm. Two of its 21
members have West Michigan roots: Connie Dang is the director of
GVSU's Office of Multicultural Affairs, and Bing Goei is chief
executive officer of Eastern Floral and Republican candidate for a
state House seat.
Commissioners on June 4 are scheduled to discuss current
proposals in Lansing regarding enforcement of an immigration law, as
Arizona recently did; and hear a presentation from Les Wong, president
of Northern Michigan University. Grand Valley President Thomas J. Haas
will make opening remarks.
The MAPAAC meets quarterly; Dang said this will be the
commission's first meeting in West Michigan. Meetings are open to the
public.
The meeting is scheduled to run from 9 a.m.-noon in the Pere
Marquette Room of the Kirkhof Center. Parking is available in Lot H.
