Talent Bank
The Connecticut Asian Pacific American Affairs Commission (APAAC) maintains a Talent Bank of people who are interested in appointment to state boards, councils, commissions or task forces. Generally such positions are unpaid. While entry of names in the Talent Bank does not guarantee appointment, it does afford an opportunity for consideration for appointment.
The legislative appointing authorities and the Governor now have electronic access to APAAC’s Talent Bank database. The information you provide to us, including your electronic resume, can now be accessed directly by the appointing authorities as vacancies become available. Information available to the appointing authorities is password protected.

Narrowing the Achievement Gap by Improving the Health of Our Students
on Tuesday, May 8th from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM
at Legislative Office Building Room 1C – 300 Capitol Avenue Hartford, CT 06106
Please join us for a discussion on narrowing the achievement gap by improving the health of our students. In a roundtable that will call together policy-makers and experts in education and healthcare, the CHE will connect the dots between Connecticut’s high achievement gap and such conditions as asthma, teen pregnancy, violence and mental illness. Also during the roundtable, participants will focus on Gov. Dannel Malloy’s education reform bill, now called “An Act Concerning Educational Competitiveness,” created as part of his school reform efforts for the 2012 legislative session.
Panelists Include:
- Verna Bernard, Association of the School Nurses of Connecticut
- Dr. Jenny Carrillo, Planned Parenthood of Southern New England,
- Dr. Bill Anderson, United Community Family Services,

Patsy Takemoto Mink Education Foundation FOR LOW-INCOME WOMEN AND CHILDREN
Patsy Takemoto Mink (1927-2002) served in the US Congress from 1965-1976 and again from 1990-2002, where she represented Hawaii's 2nd Congressional District. The first woman of color elected to the US House of Representatives, she worked tirelessly for civil rights, women's rights, economic justice, civil liberties, peace, and the integrity of the democratic process. Established in 2003, the Patsy Takemoto Mink Education Foundation aims to carry on some of Congresswoman Mink's most ardent commitments: educational access, support, and opportunity for low-income women, especially mothers; and educational enrichment for children.
In 2012, the Foundation will offer five Education Support Awards of up to $2000 each to assist low-income women with children who are pursuing education or training. For more information about the 2012 application process, click here.
