Today, Herbalife (NYSE: HLF), a leading global nutrition
company, announced that the company is partnering with the Asian
Pacific American Institute for Congressional Studies (APAICS) to
support a congressional fellowship in Washington, D.C. As part of
the program, Herbalife will sponsor Alyssa Wang, a recent graduate
of the University of Florida who will spend nine months in
Washington D.C. getting invaluable experience working in the U.S.
Congress.
“Herbalife is pleased to sponsor APAICS public policy fellowship
program,” said Angela Arboleda, Herbalife Vice President of
Government and Community Affairs. “Empowerment is a central focus
for Herbalife and we are excited to partner with APAICS to provide
these students with strong leadership skills that we hope will
inspire them to pursue careers in public service. We look forward
to working with APAICS over the coming years to support their
important work in the Asian Pacific American and Pacific Islander
community.”
The full-time legislative and public policy fellowship program
offers exceptional graduates and young professionals with an
opportunity to give back to their communities by working on policy
issues in a congressional office. The fellowship program aims to
build leadership skills, foster a strong interest in public service
and encourage civic engagement.
The APAICS Herbalife fellow, Alyssa Wang, is a Florida native
who graduated from the University of Florida in May with a Masters
in Public Health. During her time in Washington, D.C., Alyssa will
be working on health policy in the office of U.S. Senator Mazie
Hirono from Hawaii. Alyssa brings a wealth of experience in the
health industry as a leader of the Tobacco Free Alachua, developing
policies to reduce the effects of tobacco in her community, through
her work with North Florida Department of Veterans Affairs and as a
leader in various health programs at her university.
“We are dedicated to growing and shaping the next generation of
leaders in the Asian Pacific American community,” said Floyd Mori,
President and CEO, Asian Pacific American Institute for
Congressional Studies. “We are pleased to partner with Herbalife to
give our young leaders the opportunity to get hands on experience
and training in the Nation’s capital.”
The fellowship program is an expansion of the partnership
between Herbalife and APAICS. Earlier this year, Herbalife
supported the APAICS Regional Leadership Academy and Policy Summit
in Manoa, Hawaii. The Academy and Policy Summit was held on March
14-15 and included a boot camp led by Christine Pelosi designed for
elected officials, community leaders, and aspiring students in the
Asian community. The Summit included a conversation on
leadership with Representative Colleen Hanabusa (D-HI) and featured
a roundtable on health and education.
