On May 28, 2021, President Biden signed Executive Order (EO) 14031 establishing the President’s Advisory Commission on Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders (the Commission) within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). The 25-member Commission consists of leaders appointed by the President who reflect the rich diversity of AA and NHPI communities throughout the United States.  

During the Commission’s inaugural meeting on February 3-4, 2022, the Commissioners formed six subcommittees to advance equity, justice, and opportunity for AA and NHPI communities in accordance with EO 14031:  

1. Belonging, Inclusion, Anti-Asian Hate, Anti-Discrimination Subcommittee  
2. Health Equity Subcommittee  
3. Immigration and Citizenship Status Subcommittee  
4. Language Access Subcommittee  
5. Data Disaggregation Subcommittee  
6. Economic Equity Subcommittee  

Between February 2022 and May 2022, the six subcommittees met regularly to gather information and develop recommendations for presentation to the full Commission on May 12, 2022. This document includes meeting summaries and final recommendations for all six subcommittees that were approved by the full Commission in May.
