What is the mission of the Asian American Business Roundtable?
The Asian American Business Roundtable ( AABR) was established in 1989 to help Asian/Pacific and other minority-owned companies expand their market with the Federal government as well as the commercial sector by providing information that is accurate and timely  to enable them to make informed decisions beneficial to their companies.    top

What is the U.S. Women's Chamber of Commerce?
AABR is an institutional member of ALLIANCE, a coalition of national trade organizations and business associations dedicated to preserving and expanding minority business awareness and access to contrasting and other business development opportunities and resources. The ALLIANCE (Summit) member organizations and associations are representatives of the major constituencies that comprise the minority business community and meets monthly in Washington D.C. Summit meetings are attended by the senior executive of each organization/association or its Washington representative, thus assuring that the views of the members are fully aired and that the process of consensus-building on issues is addressed in a timely fashion.

Focusing on policy and government issues affecting minority business programs at the federal level, the Summit engages in information gathering, meeting with key federal officials and other minority business stakeholders, synthesis and analysis of issues, and the development of positions, approaches and strategies to address the issue. When there is a consensus on an issue affecting minority business, the Summit speaks as one voice on that issue. When there is no consensus, the Summit takes no position, but the individual organizations are free to express and promulgate their positions on the issue in question.
