“Last year, we celebrated Mihiri Uthpala Tillakaratne and her achievements in Sri Lanka. Her vision and ability to build schools, provide eye care, and supply freshwater to that nation is not only praise worthy, but also a model of influence for other young Asian American women,” said Vienne Cheung, Interim Executive Director, ASPIRE. “This year, we hope to recognize other young Asian American woman who contributes to the community and sets an example of someone who is passionate in reaching excellence for not only herself, but those around her."
The Grand Prize winner will received an all-expense paid trip to Boston to attend the AAWIL Conference where she will receive the award from ASPIRE’s high-profile keynote speaker, the opportunity of a lifetime to spend a day with an Asian American female mentor of her choice from ASPIRE’s network, and a featured profile in ASPIRE’s website, with the chance to tell her story to Asian American women everywhere.
