 Asian Leaders Association invites you to its sixth Asian
Academy Hall of Distinction Awards, celebrating extraordinary Asians and their
contributions to the world.
- The Asian Academy Hall of Distinction Awards have been held in
various unique places around the world. The first one was held in the
White House in Washington DC in 2002, followed by a ceremony at the pyramids
of Egypt in 2003. In 2004, we had the knighting ceremony in New Mexico and
in 2005, the awards were given at the Olympic Stadium in Greece. In 2006, we
enjoyed a royal event at the Sychrov Castle in Turnov, Czech Republic. The
2007 awards will be held in the US Capitol on June 5, 2007..
Race To Save The Planet Honors:
On the same night, the Race To Save The Planet Initiative will honor hotels
and organizations who, through innovative management and programs, are leading
the way in preventing the further erosion of the environment and trying to
reverse the unthinkable impact of the climate crisis that is now upon us.
