naisA Global was founded in April 2013 and received its 501c3 non-profit status in November 2014 by Dr. Jamie Younghee Sheen with a vision to build the next generation of great Asian leaders. naisA Global is led by a team of accomplished professionals who have recognized the disproportion between high achieving Asian Americans, and their present lack of representation in leadership roles within large corporations, universities, and government. Often referred to as the “bamboo ceiling” or “sticky floor,” this is largely cited as a result of a combination of individual, cultural, and organizational factors impeding Asian professionals from career progress. naisA Global’s goal is to educate and empower emerging young Asian leaders across the world by providing them with mentorship opportunities, leadership training, and tools that foster and develop effective communication skills. Our programs were established in response to the critical lack of Asian leadership that exists nationally and globally.
