Jung-Ho Pak honored by 5 District Supervisors for AAPI month
“I wanted to thank you for your kind recognition this afternoon. I’m especially honored to have represented the arts community as part of this celebration of Asian Americans.”
It was an exquisite day filled with joy and appreciation for the Asian American Pacific Islander individuals who play an integral role in enriching the cultural tapestry, igniting creativity, and instilling boundless passion within our communities in the greater Bay Area, ultimately contributing to the vibrancy that makes this region a truly exceptional place to call home.
During the ceremony, Jung-Ho shared:
“I wanted to thank you for your kind recognition this afternoon. I’m especially honored to have represented the arts community as part of this celebration of Asian Americans.
It was especially moving when you stated that our goal was to “return music back to the people”. Nothing could be more true!
Equally rewarding was to share the stage with Herbert who has given so much. He’s a true institution and deserves all the appreciation this month of celebration represents.”
