APSEA's 2006 Holiday Mixer was a Huge Success!

In appreciation of all of its members and to herald in the holidays with a bang, the Asian Pacific State Employees Association (APSEA) held their annual Holiday Mixer on November 30, 2006. A diverse crowd of over 100 Asian American state employees gathered together celebrate the holidays and widen their community networks.

The Mixer was a great opportunity for many APSEA members to meet and network with their fellow state employees. Although there were many familiar faces, many new faces were also seen participating in the festivities.

Attendees included both past and current government employees, including many elected and high ranking state officials as well as APSEA supporters. These include Melanie Ramil representing Assemblymember Dave Jones; Bill Wong, Chief of Staff, representing Assemblymember Judy Chu; Sylvia Tang representing Board of Equalization Member Betty Lee; Cortez Quinn representing County Supervisor Roger Dickinson; Maeley Tom, Board Member, State Personnel Board and CalPERS Board; Genevieve Shiroma, SMUD Board; Raynor Tsuneyoshi, Director Boating & Waterways; Will Semmes, Director Cal. Conservation Corp; Selvi Stanislaus, Executive Director Franchise Tax Board; Floyd Shimomra, Executive Officer State Personnel Board; Richard Bayquen, Chief Deputy Health Services; Ken Miyao, Chief Deputy Dept. of Motor Vehicles; Lorna Fong, Assistant to Secretary of Health & Human Services Agency; Tom Hoffman, Director of Division of Adult Parole Programs; Timothy Hsu, Financing Risk Manager, Cal Housing Finance Agency; Susie Wong, Deputy, Dept. of Corporations; Lillian Shek, Member of the Public Employment Relations Board; Linda Ng, Fair Employment & Housing Commission; Alex Eng, Sacramento Planning Commission; Darrell Woo, Sacramento Planning Commission; and Dee Brown, Sacramento Racial Profiling Commission.

Held at the Mayflower Restaurant in Sacramento, this year’s Holiday Mixer was sponsored by APSEA and APSEA Foundation, with special thanks to Jean Chong and Miko Sawamura for their hard work, dedication and leadership in planning the event.
