APG to Celebrate Asian American, Pacific Islander Heritage

Aberdeen Proving Ground will host a fashion show, dancing and other events as it celebrates Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month later this month.

The celebration will start at 10:30 a.m. on May 20 at the Proving Ground's Myer Auditorium. It is free and open to the public.

“The APG workforce is extremely diverse and talented,” APG Equal Opportunity Advisor Tracy Marshall said in a release.  “Events that celebrate the histories, cultures and contributions found in our communities provide an excellent opportunity to celebrate as we share information and build more inclusive relationships.”

The event will feature guest speaker Heidi Shyu, assistant secretary of the Army for acquisition, logistics and technology and one of the top Asian Americans in the federal government, according to the release.

The fashion show will feature traditional Asian and Pacific dress. Music and food from Asian and Pacific island nations will also be on display.
