CAN is a community-focused, multi-cultural marketing & media platform serving the fast-growing Asian American community.
The organization was founded in 2010 by a group of community leaders, creative volunteers and thought leaders of Chicago’s Asian Pacific American community. CAN began providing the community a platform for content that serves to consolidate and represent the multi-generational and diverse Asian American community through Internet resources, media, stories, and events. What started as a blog site and newsletter to connect/update the AAPI community has organically grown into a network of over 55,000+ AAPI professionals in the Chicagoland area and a resource network of AAPI community leaders across North America.
