The idea for a Pan-Asian cultural center was
first developed in 1998 in a meeting attended by
representatives from twenty Asian Pacific community
organizations. APCC was incorporated as a nonprofit
organization in December 1998 and granted
501(c)(3) status in the fall of 2000.

Asian culture and education.
