As anticipation builds for the 2026 OCA National Convention, we are pleased to announce the launch of one of the convention’s most creative and visible traditions:
The 2026 OCA National Convention T-Shirt Design Contest is now open.
This is an opportunity to share your perspective, showcase your creativity, and contribute to a design that will be worn by attendees from across the country.

About
OCA – Asian Pacific American Advocates
Founded in 1973, OCA – Asian Pacific American Advocates is a leading national organization dedicated to advancing the social, political, and economic well-being of Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander communities.
With more than 50 chapters and affiliates across the United States, OCA works to promote civic engagement, support youth leadership, expand educational opportunities, and strengthen community connections nationwide.

A Homecoming in Detroit
The 2026 convention carries particular significance as it returns to Detroit.
Association of Chinese Americans (ACA), one of OCA’s founding organizations established in 1972, has long served the Detroit community through cultural programming, social services, and advocacy.
Hosting the national convention in Detroit represents not only a major gathering, but also a meaningful homecoming.

Convention Details
2026 OCA National Convention
July 23–26, 2026
Detroit, Michigan
Leaders, advocates, students, and community members from across the country will come together to exchange ideas, build partnerships, and shape the future of the AANHPI community.

2026 Theme: Motown Momentum
MOTOWN MOMENTUM: IGNITING NEW ENERGY, INSPIRING ALL GENERATIONS
The 2026 theme draws inspiration from Detroit’s defining identity.
“Motown” originates from “Motor Town,” reflecting Detroit’s historic role as the center of the American automobile industry, home to companies such as Ford Motor Company, General Motors, and Chrysler.
The term gained global recognition through the founding of Motown Records in 1960 by Berry Gordy. The label helped shape modern popular music through artists such as Stevie Wonder, Diana Ross, Marvin Gaye, The Temptations, and Jackson 5.
Today, Motown represents more than a musical genre. It reflects a spirit of innovation, resilience, creativity, and cross-generational cultural influence.
The theme “Motown Momentum” calls on us to build on that legacy by bringing together different generations, igniting new energy, and advancing the future of AANHPI communities.

The T-Shirt Design Contest
The official convention T-shirt is more than a commemorative item. It serves as a shared symbol of identity, unity, and purpose.
Participants are invited to interpret this year’s theme and translate it into a compelling visual design. Whether drawing inspiration from Detroit’s industrial heritage, its musical legacy, or the diversity of the AANHPI community, submissions should reflect the spirit of the convention.

What the Winner Receives
The selected designer will receive one full convention registration
In addition, the winning design will be featured as the official 2026 OCA National Convention T-shirt and worn by attendees from across the United States.

Submission Guidelines

All entries must be original work
The winner will be determined through OCA board voting
The contest is open to all participants

Designers are encouraged to keep the number of colors minimal to ensure high-quality production.

Home Coming: ACA Announces First-Ever Scholarship Alumni Reunion
2026-07-24 17:00 - 20:30 | ACA Chinese Community Center, 32585 Concord Drive, Madison Heights, MI, 48071-1141, United States
For 42 years, the Association of Chinese Americans (ACA) Scholarship Program has helped young people pursue their educational dreams, recognize their achievements, and encourage them to become leaders in their communities.
Since the first scholarships were awarded in the early 1980s, hundreds of students have received ACA scholarships. They have gone on to become physicians, engineers, educators, entrepreneurs, public servants, artists, researchers, and community leaders. Yet despite the program’s long and successful history, many scholarship recipients have never had the opportunity to meet one another.
That is about to change.
On Friday, July 24, 2026, ACA will host the first-ever ACA Scholarship Alumni Reunion, bringing together scholarship recipients from across four decades for an evening of reconnection, reflection, and celebration.
The reunion will take place from 5:00 PM to 8:30 PM at the ACA Chinese Community Center in Madison Heights, Michigan.
This historic gathering marks a significant milestone in ACA’s history. For the first time, scholarship recipients from the 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, 2010s, and 2020s will come together to celebrate a shared legacy of achievement and community service.
Many alumni may remember the excitement of receiving an ACA scholarship, the encouragement it provided during their educational journey, and the support of a community that believed in their potential. The reunion offers an opportunity to reconnect with that community, renew old friendships, make new connections, and reflect on how far everyone has come.
The evening will feature networking opportunities, alumni stories, reflections on the history of the scholarship program, and discussions about how alumni can continue supporting future generations of students.
More importantly, the reunion is about people.
It is about the student who received a scholarship decades ago and is now mentoring young professionals. It is about the first-generation college student who found encouragement through ACA. It is about the many individuals whose lives were touched by a community that invested in their future.
As ACA looks toward the future, we hope this reunion will be the beginning of a vibrant Scholarship Alumni Network—one that connects generations of recipients, fosters mentorship, and strengthens the bonds that have united our community for more than four decades.
If you are a former ACA Scholarship recipient, we invite you to join us for this historic occasion. Whether your scholarship was awarded 40 years ago or four years ago, you remain an important part of the ACA family.
We also encourage alumni to share photographs, memories, career updates, and stories from their scholarship years. Together, we can preserve the history of the ACA Scholarship Program and inspire the next generation of scholars.

ACA and Ford Asian Association Present Leadership & Mobility Career Summit
2026-09-13 08:30 - 14:30 | ACA Chinese Community Center, 32585 Concord Drive, Madison Heights, MI, 48071-1141, United States
The Association of Chinese Americans (ACA), in collaboration with the Ford Asian Association (FAA), will present the ACA × Ford Leadership & Mobility Career Summit on Sunday, September 13, 2026, from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at the Chinese Community Center.
Under the theme “One Team. One Mission. Countless Futures.”, the one-day summit will bring together professionals and community leaders from Ford, ACA, and the Asia Pacific American Chamber of Commerce (APACC) to help high school students, college students, and young professionals explore career possibilities and prepare for an evolving workforce.
The program will focus on career development, leadership, emerging technology, mobility, professional communication, and networking. Participants will have opportunities to hear directly from experienced professionals, learn about different career paths, strengthen their interview and communication skills, and consider how their education and experiences can translate into future professional opportunities.

Preparing Young People for a Changing Workforce
Today’s students are preparing to enter a workplace being rapidly transformed by artificial intelligence, electrification, advanced engineering, software, and new approaches to mobility.
At the same time, employers continue to value skills that extend beyond technical knowledge: communication, teamwork, adaptability, problem-solving, leadership, and the ability to build meaningful professional relationships.
The Leadership & Mobility Career Summit is designed to bring these two sides of career preparation together.
Participants will explore questions such as:

What skills are employers looking for in students and young professionals?
How can students turn academic, volunteer, extracurricular, and leadership experiences into professional strengths?
How should students approach choosing a college major, internship, or first job?
How are artificial intelligence, engineering, electrification, and mobility creating new career opportunities?
How can young people begin developing professional networks?
What does it take to communicate effectively and confidently during an interview?

The goal is not simply to help participants prepare for their next interview, but to encourage them to think more broadly about the careers and opportunities ahead of them.
Meet the Moderator and Panelists
The summit will feature professionals and community leaders representing engineering, artificial intelligence, education, business, and community leadership.
Hong Jiang, Moderator
Chief Engineer, Electrified Drivetrain (eDrive) and Chassis, Research and Advanced Engineering, Ford
Hong Jiang will moderate the discussion and guide conversations about engineering, innovation, leadership, career development, and the future of mobility.
Yao Ge
Senior Technical Leader, Artificial Intelligence, AI Advancement Center, Ford
Yao Ge will offer insights into artificial intelligence and emerging technologies, including how AI is changing industries, creating new career opportunities, and influencing the skills that future professionals will need.
Chelsey Revita
Off Road and Trailer Tow Attribute Engineer, Ford
Chelsey Revita will share an engineering perspective and help participants understand how technical knowledge, problem-solving, teamwork, and communication come together in a professional automotive and mobility environment.
Richard Mui
President, Association of Chinese Americans (ACA) | Educator
As both ACA President and an educator, Richard Mui will discuss the connections among education, leadership, community engagement, personal development, and long-term professional success.
Rachapa Lau
Associate Executive Director, Asia Pacific American Chamber of Commerce (APACC)
Rachapa Lau will bring a business and professional-development perspective to the conversation, with insights into networking, communication, career development, and the importance of building meaningful professional relationships.
More Than an Interview Workshop
An important part of the summit will be helping students understand how to present themselves effectively in a professional environment.
Participants will gain practical insights into preparing for interviews, introducing themselves with confidence, communicating their strengths, developing professional networks, and translating their academic and community experiences into skills that employers value.
But the program goes beyond interview preparation.
By meeting professionals working in engineering, artificial intelligence, business, education, and community leadership, participants will have an opportunity to learn about career paths they may not previously have considered.
For a young person, sometimes the most valuable career lesson comes from meeting someone, hearing their story, and realizing for the first time: “I could do that, too.”
Professional Headshots Available
The summit will also offer attendees a practical opportunity to strengthen their professional presence.
A professional photo booth will be available during the event, allowing participants to have a professional headshot taken for use on LinkedIn, professional biographies, résumés and portfolios, internship and fellowship applications, and other career-related platforms.
Participants who would like to have a professional headshot taken are encouraged to attend in business or business-casual attire.
For students and young professionals who have never had a professional headshot, this is an opportunity to leave the summit with something they can immediately use as they begin building their professional identity.
From Education to Career
For more than four decades, ACA has supported young people through its scholarship and youth development programs. The Leadership & Mobility Career Summit builds upon that commitment by connecting educational achievement with career readiness and professional development.
ACA believes that helping young people succeed requires more than supporting their education. Students also need opportunities to meet mentors, learn from professionals, understand emerging industries, build networks, and develop confidence in their own abilities.
A scholarship can help open the door to education.
Mentorship, professional exposure, and career knowledge can help young people decide where that door might lead.
Through its collaboration with the Ford Asian Association, ACA hopes the summit will give participants a clearer understanding of the opportunities available to them and the skills they can begin developing today.
Who Should Attend?
The ACA × Ford Leadership & Mobility Career Summit is particularly suited for:

High school students beginning to explore college majors and career possibilities;
College students preparing for internships, interviews, graduate school, and entry into the professional workforce; and
Young professionals interested in career development, leadership, networking, and strengthening their professional presence.

Participants do not need to have a career path already chosen. The summit is equally valuable for young people who are still exploring their interests and discovering what opportunities are available.
Sometimes discovering what you want to do begins with discovering what is possible.
