Gunderson Dettmer commemorates Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month in May 2023 and honors the traditions of AAPI cultures by providing resources and events to our firm, clients and industry.

The National theme for Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month is "Advancing Leaders Through Opportunity". At Gunderson, we are focused on continuously creating pathways to advancement for our underrepresented talent through mentorship programs and training and professional development opportunities. 

Reflection

“Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month is a month-long opportunity to educate and expand the learning and impact of diverse AAPI groups across cultures and diasporas. It is a celebration that commemorates our community’s ongoing commitment to shining a light on the efforts made to further advance and promote leaders across industries.

More importantly, we honor our tradition and commitment by combating racism in our communities.”
