The Pacific Asian American Network (PAAN) held its 20th anniversary celebration at the Wing Luke Museum of the Asian Pacific American Experience (the Wing). PAAN is one of Qwest’s eight employee resource groups that aim to help employees fully engage and meet professional challenges.

At the celebration, Qwest donated $15,000 to the Wing.

The special guest speaker was Dennis Okamoto, retired vice president of US West (now Qwest). ♦
