Bush appoints Fil-Am to head US advisory body
By ROY C. MABASA, MB
United States President George W. Bush has designated Filipino-American Rudy Pamintuan as chairman of the President’s Advisory Commission on Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders.
Prior to his appointment, Pamintuan served as one of 14 members of the commission who were sworn in at the White House in July, 2004.
Pamintuan, of Chicago, Illinois, is president of Sherman Consulting, Inc., a media strategy and public policy consulting firm.
"I am deeply honored that the President appointed me chairman," Pamintuan said in a statement to the National Federation of Filipino-Americans Association.
In accepting his new post, Pamintuan credited his predecessor, Betty Wu, for the latter’s tireless effort in developing and implementing the commission’s strategic vision.
He pledged to work closely with his fellow commissioners to make sure that their report would be submitted to President George Bush, as well as provide outreach and technical assistance forums to as many AAPI communities as possible across the United States.
He is active in Chicago’s philanthropic and non-profit community, a volunteer and member of various charities and civic organizations throughout the Chicago area including the Y-Me Organization, Misercorida, Maryville and Executive’s Club of Chicago.
He is also a board member of the Remy Bumppo Theater Company, the Chicago chapter of U.S. Lacrosse and serves on the Asian-American Advisory Council to Illinois Treasurer Judy Baar Topinka. He attended the prestigious Loyola University in Chicago.
The President’s Advisory Commission on Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders was established by Executive Order 13339 signed by Bush on May 13, 2004, in furtherance of his commitment to provide equal economic opportunities to some 14.5 million Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders.
The commission specifically provides the President of the United States advice on the development, monitoring, and coordination of executive branch efforts to improve the economic and community development of Asian American and Pacific Islander businesses through ensuring equal opportunity to participate in Federal programs, and public sector, private sector partnerships, and through the collection of data related to Asian American and Pacific Islander businesses.
In May 2004, President Bush appointed Eddy Robles Badrina, a son of Filipino immigrants, as Executive Director of the White House Initiative on Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders
