Our beginnings...
Beginning in 2016, the DC Asia Policy Network emerged as an informal get together among Asia policy researchers at the Brookings Institution and other think tanks seeking a platform for informal policy discussions and networking. Since its inception, the network has expanded significantly, now boasting a 3,000-member Facebook group and nearly 1,000 subscribers to our newsletter. Today, our monthly happy hour event attracts hundreds of active participants, attesting to the organization's emphasis on community and relationship building.
