The National Asian Pacific Islander Council (NAPIC) was established in 2007 to provide a national body for Asian/Pacific Islander community college constituents to affiliate and identify in the interest of more effective education.

As an affiliate of the American Association of Community Colleges (AACC), NAPIC is a non-profit, charitable, and educational organization. It is organized to operate for educational purposes, including access to quality education for Asian & Pacific Islanders, the enhancement of our pluralistic society, advocacy, and policy, and the development of the nation’s total human resources.

NAPIC directs its efforts toward matters that include curriculum, data collection, dissemination, and research, communication with its members and with the AACC, development of recommendations to the AACC, and collaboration with other segments of the Asian & Pacific Islander Community and others contributing to the same interest and cause.

NAPIC is committed to promoting the professional development of Asian & Pacific Islander leaders within colleges in the United States, providing support services for Asian & Pacific Islander students, and implementing and expanding meaningful action programs.
