The Ohio State Governor John Kasich has appointed Kashi
Adhikari of Columbus (Franklin County), a Bhutanese/Nepalese Community leader to
the Asian American Pacific Islander Advisory Council for a term beginning
September 12, 2017, and continuing at the pleasure of the Governor.
The Ohio Asian American Pacific Islander Advisory Council,
OAAPAC was established September 27, 2007 through a Directive Order by former
Governor Ted Strickland.
And in May 2011, Governor John Kasich issued an Executive
Order 2011-09K establishing OAAPAC.
The Council promotes Asian American Pacific Islanders
(AAPI’s) rights and well-being through education and mobilization of all
stakeholders including AAPI communities, government agencies, and the Ohio
society in general.
In his response to the appointment, Kashi Adhikari told
the New Americans that “I am excited
and very happy for the appointment. It shows the State government is following
what we are doing to integrate our community with the larger society in Ohio.
“I look forward to contributing my garnered experience in
the last eight years to improving lives, standard and wellbeing of our community.
The new American community will surely be excited by this,” he added.
