As National President and CEO of the US Pan Asian American Chamber of Commerce Education Foundation (USPAACC), Susan Au Allen leads the organization in opening doors to business opportunities for Pan Asian Americans and their partners in corporate America, government, large nonprofits, and the small and diverse business communities.

These signature programs include: 1-on-1 Business Matchmaking Meetings between diverse suppliers and corporations and federal government agencies; Fast 100 Asian American Business to showcase robust growth; Women Initiative for Strategic Empowerment (WISE); and Supplier Diversity Champions, among others.
USPAACC’s programs culminate at its annual flagship CelebrASIAN Business + Procurement Conference – the country’s largest and longest-running B2B conference convened by Pan Asian American enterprises.
