Advocacy
National ACE represents the voice of the AAPI and all small business owners and entrepreneurs. Since our founding in 2012, our goal has been clear: to improve the economic and social well-being of the small business community. By working with policymakers, business leaders, and private and public stakeholders, we have advocated for public policies that promote growth in our economy, ultimately creating more business and economic opportunities.

White House
National ACE has a long, productive history of working with several White House Administrations. Joint community outreach programs ensure the voice of the AAPI and all small business community is heard in the executive branch.
Federal Agencies
National ACE maintains a close working relationship with the U.S. Department of Commerce with joint programs that include the National ACE Small Business Roundtable.
The National ACE Small Business Roundtable Series
The National ACE Small Business Roundtable series gives local AAPI and all small business owners an opportunity to discuss and network with key elected officials and corporate leaders on current business issues that affect them directly. These roundtable sessions encourage open discussions on the current state of business, policy, and the success of businesses in local markets.
