These questions will help identify current lived experiences of Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) business community members within California.  Your responses will assist AAPI Strong in creating and strengthening resources for the AAPI community.  Your answers are helpful regardless of if you identify as having AAPI background or not.  There are no correct or incorrect answers.  

Your responses and stories will be kept confidential. You are free to answer this survey anonymously but can also confidentially provide your name and the name of your business.  There is no pressure to answer, and there will be no penalty for not answering.  There is also no penalty for answering anonymously – your answers and stories will still be valid and considered. 

This survey has less than 30 questions and should take less than 14 minutes to complete.
