5th Annual AWE Luncheon

In a milestone fifth year, AWE (Asian Women Empowered) honors the women redefining what's possible for Asian women — and inspiring current and future generations.

AWE's 5th Annual Luncheon celebrates the community and momentum that have advanced Asian women's visibility, leadership, and agency since our founding.

This signature gathering unites an influential network of leaders, creators, and changemakers committed to elevating Asian women across industries. Join us as we honor exceptional Asian women leaders, foster meaningful connections, and drive progress for generations to come.

We are delighted to recognize Andrea Cherng, Chief Brand Officer of Panda Restaurant Group, and Sheila Lirio Marcelo, Co-Founder and CEO of Ohai.ai, as our 2026 AWE Champions.

More honorees and event information to be announced soon.

Join us for:

• An awards celebration recognizing Asian women leaders across industries
• An inspiring panel with this year's Honorees
• Founder's Avenue, featuring Asian women-owned and -led businesses
• Spotlight presentations
• Opportunities to connect and strengthen community

Join us in celebrating five years of impact.
