SPIRIT OF AMERICA AWARD

First presented at the 47th National Convention in 2003, the Spirit of America Awards (“Awards”) recognize individuals who embody the indomitable spirit of our nation and whose achievements have improved the lives not just of Chinese Americans but of all our fellow countrymen. The recognition of these achievements serves to inspire us all.

The Awards acknowledge excellence in many fields of endeavor, including advocacy, arts, business and commerce, education, government, law, media, philanthropy, sciences, sport, theater, and volunteer services.
