education, research, judiciary, and other areas influencing every aspect of a
Georgian’s daily life. Some names are familiar as they continue to strive to
make our community a better place to live. New faces are recognized for their
effort and dedication to make a difference. All have contributed to improving
the quality of life and the image of Asians in the community.
