Despite the continued challenges from Covid-19 and a U.S.-China relationship under stress, the WSCRC has been working hard to serve its members and partners by providing high quality programs and support local community efforts. In the first half of 2021, in addition to nearly 20 webinars, we hosted our first ever virtual annual gala (with more than 200 participants)! Working with partner organizations, we also produced a report for federal, state and local officials, outlining policies that these organizations endorse with the intent to improve the competitiveness of Washington businesses in their dealings with China. In response to the rise of hate crimes against people of Asian and Pacific ethnicity and to show our support in the fight against anti-Asian racism, the WSCRF and the WSCRC hosted a series of two webinars to explore this topic from different perspectives.
This report provides a summary of our work carried out in the first half of 2021, along with membership and leadership updates.
