Welcome to the USDA Forest Service Asian Pacific American Employees Association (established in 1993), an organization for current and former employees of the USDA Forest Service.


Check out our most up-to-date happenings via our February 2024 Newsletter.

We are an officially recognized USDA Forest Service Employee Resource Group who believes that inclusivity & diversity are an asset and sources of strength for our Agency. 

We honor the achievements and contributions of Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders (AANHPI) who have served in the Agency, strive for common ground, proactively address opportunities and resolution, and  promote inclusive engagement and collaboration among Forest Service employees, Agency leadership, and our AANHPI public.
