Los Angeles, CA - Each year, the Asian Business Association (ABA) honors leaders in the Asian American business community. The ABA also recognizes corporations who consistently support the Asian business community and provide opportunities and venues for Asian American entrepreneurs to flourish.

The Asian Business Association 33rd Annual Awards Luncheon & Business Conference presented by Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc. will be held at the Pasadena Convention Center on Tuesday, October 13, 2009 at 11:00 am. The program this year will include a business conference which will follow the awards luncheon.

The theme for this year is “Breakthrough”. From the standpoint of rising cost of doing business and unemployment, this has been a challenging year for many businesses. In addition, revenues are lower than expected.

Despite unfavorable business conditions, many entrepreneurs persist in seeking opportunities to breakthrough these barriers. We will be celebrating their achievements this year at the ABA Awards Luncheon emceed by David Ono of KABC and Cher Calvin of KTLA.
The 2009 ABA Awardees are:

Business Leadership Award: Newegg Inc.

The ABA will bring together its vast members of entrepreneurs, corporate partners and public agencies at the business conference to convene and to exhibit their products and services.
