We want to hear from you! 여러분의 의견을 보내주세요!

The Korean American Coalition (KAC) is a national non-profit, non-partisan community advocacy organization founded in Los Angeles in 1983. There are 9 chapters currently operating in Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Los Angeles (National Headquarter), San Diego, Seattle, Washington DC, and Portland.

KAC Oregon started in July 2014 with a mission to foster a strong Korean American community in Oregon by promoting Korean American participation in civic, legislative and community affairs through advocacy, community service, leadership development and cultural education.

The Oregon Korean American Coalition (KAC) is gathering input from community members like you to help shape our future work. Whether you've attended a KAC event or this is your first time hearing about us, your perspective matters.

This brief survey (about 5 minutes) asks about your needs, priorities, and ideas for the Korean American community in Oregon. Your response is greatly appreciated.

As a thank you, everyone who completes the survey will have the option to enter a drawing for a prize. After you submit your responses, you'll be redirected to a separate entry form. Three winners will be randomly selected on November 15, 2026.
