Leadership
We are a diverse, multi-ethnic, and intergenerational leadership team of students, parents, and community members allied in deep commitment to our Asian and Asian American youth, and shared vision in support of an inclusive and equitable Edina Public Schools (EPS) and city of Edina.
Committees
Our EAAA Committees spearhead, guide, and shape certain long-term projects and community engagements. Committees are comprised of a combination of EAAA Leadership and community members. For questions, comments, or concerns relating to a certain committee, feel free to reach out to edinaasianamericanalliance@gmail.com. If you're interesting in joining one of our committees, also reach out! The work we do would not be possible without the support of our amazing community!​
