The Asian Pacific American Institute for Congressional Studies (APAICS) is a non-partisan, non-profit educational organization dedicated to promoting Asian American and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander (AA & NH/PI) participation and representation at all levels of the political process, from community service to elected office.

The APAICS Regional Leadership Academy (RLA) is a two-day leadership training event for community stakeholders, individuals seeking to run for public office, current elected officials, and those with an interest in policymaking or social justice. The OC RLA will utilize scenarios based on elected positions in the state of California; however, participants do not have to be from Orange County or the Southern California area to participate.

Dates: Friday & Saturday September 18-19, 2026

Schedule: Training is all day on both days. Because of the interactive format of the training, participants must be able to attend both days. Please refer to our website for a sample schedule.

Location: CSU Fullerton School of Business and Economics. 2500 Nutwood Ave, Fullerton, CA 92831

Cost of Attendance

There is a $100 registration fee to attend the RLA. Upon acceptance, program participants will be asked to pay this amount. The fee covers the entire training, breakfast and lunch for both days, and attendance at a community reception after the Friday session of the training. If you are unable to pay the $100, scholarship options may be available upon request. Participants are responsible for transportation and lodging costs.
