On November 25, 2017, APAPA Ohio Youth had their first formal meeting. The APAPA Youth group is an organization made up of talented Asian students and adult advisors dedicated to informing the Asian community about politics and encouraging more activity in the government. A student ran group, it has already presented at two Chinese schools about November ballot issues and local elections. 
During the recent meeting, the Columbus group discussed the inclusion of other ethnic groups, the responsibilities of each board member, general meeting information to ensure organization, and the elections for positions of leadership. In addition, Cleveland and Cincinnati had their first face-to-face meeting.

Each board member will serve one year on the APAPA Youth group. The positions are chair, president, chair, secretary, treasurer, and manager, which make up the Core Executive. Each member of the Core Executive has their own responsibilities and contributions to the team. The president is the chief executive of our board and proposes ideas to better our team; the chair communicates with the other APAPA Youth groups in Ohio; the secretary records meeting notes and documents events through social media; the treasurer manages finance and funds for social gatherings; and the manager plans and ensures a smooth execution of an event. Altogether, the group will work together to run APAPA Ohio Youth.

Each candidate that ran made speeches and wasn’t allowed campaign so that the votes were equitable. Congratulations to Andy Yu, Hannah Qin, Grace Wang, Norah Xu, and Fly Zhang for being elected for board members, respectively.

The group created set rules to guarantee efficiency, deciding that meetings were necessary once each month, with an optional meeting to guarantee a smooth execution of any event taking place.
