SAN LEANDRO, CA – San Leandro City Councilmember Xouhoa Bowen was elected by her city council counterparts from around the country to serve on the Asian Pacific American Municipal Officials (APAMO) Board of Directors of the National League of Cities’ (NLC).
Bowen was first elected to the San Leandro City Council in November 2022.
“As a non-profit leader now serving on the National League of Cities’ APAMO Board of Directors, I’m deeply committed to empowering communities and fostering inclusive, equitable spaces for all,” Bowen stated, reflecting on her appointment.
“Addressing the rise in Asian hate crimes is a critical challenge, and I’m dedicated to working with fellow APAMO members and community leaders to share best practices for prevention, promote cultural understanding, and advocate for policies that protect and uplift our AAPI communities,” Bowen added.
Established within NLC in 1985, APAMO is a caucus that provides municipal officials who identify and ally with Asian Pacific Americans to connect with their colleagues in a forum to share ideas and develop leadership experience. APAMO serves as a vehicle for members to discuss problems and explore solutions, debate policy issues, and contribute to the success of American cities and towns.
