Montgomery County Asian American
Community Resource Fair

Now close to 14% of the County's population, Montgomery County's Asian American community is a rich tapestry of dozens of ethnicities, languages, religions and cultures. While each community has an array of organizations and institutions that serve as glues for its own community, many are small with limited resources or interaction with other Asian communities or the larger community.

To introduce more people to the strength and vibrancy of our diverse Asian communities and to provide an opportunity for networking and learning among the Asian communities, the County Executive's Asian American Advisory Group is hosting the Asian American Community Resource Fair on Saturday, May 8, 1:00 to 5:00 pm in the Executive Office Building, 101 Monroe St., Rockville, Maryland.
