ASIA, The Journal of Culture & Commerce, and the Asian Heritage Society have embarked on a bold move in creating two overseas chapters, one in Malaysia, the other in Thailand. Both will also produce their own local versions of the newspaper ASIA.
“This is extraordinary,” said Rosalynn Carmen, president of the Asian Heritage Society. “This not only opens up exceptional editorial opportunities for the newspaper, but, above all, it is another step in our quest to foster global peace and understanding through the Asian Heritage Society.”
The society’s primary goals are to establish a global leadership program along with member partners in several countries and to create a permanent legacy of Asian American accomplishment. The chapters in Malaysia and Thailand will contribute to the Society’s pilot leadership project and through their own versions of the Asian Heritage Awards will establish strong legacy-based programs in their own countries.
“We see this concept spreading throughout Asia. It will not stop here,” added Carmen, who related that a third chapter of the Society is being formed in the Philippines.
Each chapter will have their own version of the newspaper ASIA, focusing on local community events and arts and entertainment. They will also carry their own local columnists and produce features relating to health, education and business.
In addition, newspapers overseas will share ASIA’s features and columnists, such as Judge Lillian Lim and Feng Shui specialist Gwen Coronado, and benefit from the newspaper’s expertise as the most award-winning ethnic newspaper in Southern California.
The Asian Heritage Society was formed in 2007 to serve as a force for building the next generation of Asian American leaders through media, educational programs and other means that foster a greater understanding of the diversity of Asian cultures.
The cornerstone of the program will be a virtual workshop that brings together future leaders in Southern California and in member Asian countries by empowering them with sophisticated skills, techniques and tools and by creating mentor partners in fields ranging from business and technology to the arts and community service.
In addition to Carmen, the board of the Asian Heritage Society, headquartered in San Diego, consists of Buu-Van Rasih, chair of the Legacy Club; Dr. Binh Tran, Gloria Tierney, Renoo Hmatpongtua, Leonard Novarro and adviser Dwight Nakata.
The Malaysian chapter of the Asian Heritage Society was formed Sept. 9 in Selangor under the leadership of Dalina Ismail, director of the Walisah Institute there. Board members include Professor Radiah M. Ghouse, president and editor of the newspaper ASIA Malaysia; Norlaila Taib, secretary, and Edreina Danval, treasurer.
Others include Dr. Sireen Haron, chair of the society leadership committee and columnist for the newspaper; Mariam Abd Aziz and Fauziah Mohamed Rashid, grant and award committee; Nor Hashimah Rahmat and Norazizah Zainal, Legacy Club committee; Emila Danyal and Mohd Izham Mohammad, membership committee and Trustees Noriah Ismail, Dr Junedah Sanusi and Nor Azizan. The Asian Heritage Society chapter in Thailand is headed by Ben Benhar ,Steven Benhar and Naowarat Benhar and will be based in Chonburi. Steven Benhar will serve as the editor of the newspaper ASIA there.

Highlight of 2009 Asian Heritage Awards
|
|
Date: Sun, Jul 26, 2009 at 5:18 PM
Last night the House of China won an award from the public's vote in the Asia, Journal of Culture and Commerce Asian Heritage Award program.
The award validates our 74 year history of preserving, promoting and presenting Chinese culture and friendship.
In the mid 1930's and into the 1960's we often stood alone in protecting the rights of Chinese Americans and strived to ensure justice.
As we are on the eve of our 75th birthday n 2010, the House of China will advance Chinese culture and friendship.

Dear Len and Roz,
Again, thank you very much for hosting Debbie and I during our short stay in San Diego on 24-26 July. The Asian Heritage Society dinner and awards event was truly spectacular! I am deeply grateful to you both for honoring me with a special recognition.
We are very impressed with your civic involvement in the San Diego community. Your leadership in Asia Media and Asian Heritage Society is indicative of your active concerns in having Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders being more assimilated and recognized in the greater San Diego community and beyond. Well done!
Debbie and I truly enjoyed our new association. We wish you and your family the very best. Let's stay in touch please.
Very Sincery
Tony & Debbie

Aloha!

San Diego, CA – The Asian Business Association, San Diego, received the Business Enterprise Award at the Sixth Annual Asian Heritage Awards. ABA provides a strong voice on business, cultural and political issues of interest to San Diego’s Asian and Pacific Islander community. Over 500 attended this event on Saturday, which was held on the USS Midway. State Senator Leland Yee and San Diego County Supervisor Ron Roberts served as co-chairs of the event.

Len and Rose,
You did an amazing job hosting the event. It’s my great honor to be one of the awardees. Thanks for putting this event together, and of course in the future I will try my best to contribute to The Asian Heritage Society.
I understand both of you must have worked extremely hard over the last months, so please relax and take some time to yourselves. You deserve it!
All the best
Maria

Dear Asia Media Friends,
It was a superb gala event last Saturday. I heard many elogious comments, especially from Dr. Johnson who sat near our table. Thank you to Len and Rosalyn for the well-planned program from start to end. As I walked up the stairs on the ship, the statement of "Legacy & Legends" caught my eyes right away. Later, I saw the words on the front cover of the program also.
I was glad to see everyone, especially the members with whom we planned to have a monthly friendly get-together after the first meeting in Spring. Now that I have the personal statements from all the nominees, I can find many common interests among our group.

Presenter of the Health and Medicine Category |

Len: You and Rosalynn must be very proud! What a wonderful event you put on Saturday night. Lisa and I really enjoyed being there. I'm sorry you
didn't have a chance to meet my wife of nearly 50 years!

Dear Len and Roselyn,
CONGRATULATIONS on your fantastic Asian Heritage banquet. Mary and I really enjoyed the event and we are so proud of you for what you have accomplished, and hope that you are having a well deserved time off. .
I must thank you again for the Asia Heritage Award
you bestowed on me in 2007. As the only Asian consular representative in San Diego among 25+ consulates and honorary consulates representated here (though Korea, China and Japan have their honorary consuls in Tijuana), I hope to continue to promote your Asian Heritage and Asia publication
efforts.
What you ae doing with the Asian Heritage is tremendous. I believe that in trying to educate future Global Citizens, it is important to give paradigms,
heroes and heroines they can look up to and emulate. I would therefore like to use your Asian Heritage in my Keynote Address as an example of how such
paradigms can be created. your awards to transcend national boundaries in Asia and honor all worthy people regardless of their nationalities creates a
marvelous bonding. I hope, will open the door for
Asia to cotinue to be a part of this event in future.
Let me know if you are interested and if i have your permission to use your work as an example.
Regards,
Michael S. Inoue, Ph.D.
Honorary Consul General of Japan in San Diego
