A little bit about Bo Thao-Urabe, Founder and Executive and Network Director of the Coalition of Asian American Leaders (CAAL):

Bo Thao-Urabe

Bo Thao-Urabe is a practice-based possibilian who focuses on creating community-centered, asset-based solutions and transforming practices so that there is meaningful change for those most impacted by systemic inequities. Having immigrated to the United States as a refugee child after the Secret War in Laos, Bo’s lived experiences have continuously shaped how she creates to ensure communities can fully participate in, contribute to, and shape our democracy. Her extensive leadership experiences include building and leading local, national, and global efforts.

She is Founder and Executive and Network Director of the Coalition of Asian American Leaders (CAAL). Previously, she served as Senior Director at Asian Americans/Pacific Islanders in Philanthropy (AAPIP), leading their social justice philanthropy work. She served as executive director of several other nonprofits before that. This dynamic change-maker also co-founded the Asian Pacific Institute on Gender-Based Violence, Hmong Women Achieving Together, Sisterhood Laos, RedGreen Rivers, Building Our Future: A Global Campaign, and the Building More Philanthropy with Purpose (BMPP) Giving Circle—also fondly referred to as the “Bad Mo Pho Phamily” among Giving Circle members. Bo’s board service currently includes Propel Nonprofits, Drake Bank and The Minneapolis Foundation.

Leadership Breakfast Registration Lottery

Registration for this event will be open from Monday, February 1 through Sunday, February 7. We allow as many people to sign up for the event as possible, and from there we choose 25 participants at random, while also holding space for young nonprofit professionals who identify as a person of color. We do this to keep these events intimate while ensuring everyone has a fair chance to attend a Leadership Breakfast event. If you registered for the lottery and identify as a person of color, you can email [email protected] to let us know to place your name in the correct lottery.

Our facilitator will reach out to all participants on Monday, February 8 letting everyone know whether or not they received a spot through the lottery. Lottery winners will be asked to submit a question for our speaker in order to confirm their space. Unconfirmed spaces will be given to members of the wait list.
