Established in 1993 by Dr. Peter Lok , the Asian American Group started as a federation of Asian leaders.

In 2002 AAG's leadership was passed in able hands of Mr. Mike Vaswani. Thereafter AAG became a registered entity and also signed up associations for affiliations.

The Asian American Group was created to establish dialogue between ethnic groups in the Asian American community to encourage a better understanding and appreciation of their cultural diversity and to promote:

• Voter education and encourage voter participation.
• A better understanding of government and how it operates.
• Foster communication with our civic leaders and create understanding of the inherent cultural diversity within our community.
• Work with the varied organizations within our community to improve the exchange of ideas.

To fulfill its mission, AAG strives to strengthen the unity between government and citizens to enchance the means and opportunities of the Asian community in Nevada.

Under the erudite leadership of Mike Vaswani and his energetic Executive Board which has diverse talents has brought the Koreans, Filipinos, Indians, Sri Lankans, Chinese, Malaysians, Thai, Laotians, Vietnamese, Japanese, Indonesians and Middle Easterners under a single federation of Asian American Group to unite for a meaningful purpose.

The AAG stands true to its motto of "Unity Is Our Priority and Strength" by uniting all Asian nationalities. AAG exists to help foster the success and development of Asian Americans in our community. It has achieved this great strength by holding all these US nationalities of Asian origin together with a common goal to show that its writ runs with strategic planning to make the Asian Voice heard in cultural circles , social gatherings and most of all in federal , state , country and city political hierarchy.

We welcome the Asian American community to join together under one goal to promote and support all Asian communities through AAG.
