AAUC Podcast #19 - Lobbying as Asian Americans

Listen to the power couple Ron and Maeley Tom, you will understand why the lobbying skill set and experience is crucial for Asian Americans. Our community often lacks the skill set to advocate for our issues before the powerful decision makers to initiate beneficial changes. We also need such skills in advancing our own career as well. Mrs. Maeley Tom held the highest appointed offices in the California State Assembly and the Senate in the 1980s before joining the power national lobbying firm Cassidy & Associates as a senior VP. Her husband, Ron Tom transitioned from a career pharmacist to represent the healthcare industries as a senior lobbyist and partner of a law firm. Now they have their own lobbying firm. Their insightful experience is an eye-opener for all of us. For more information about AAUC please go to our website or follow us on Facebook!
