APAF’s primary mission is to help attract and hire  employees of Asian- Pacific origin  for GE Businesses, create the infrastructure and  processes to help APAF members develop their leadership capabilities to meet their career aspirations and help in the retention of  Asian- Pacific talent.

The key focus of this initiative are :

1. Encourage APAF members to refer high potential Asian- Pacific talent to GE Businesses. In the first quarter of 2007, a web-enabled process will be established to make this easier.
2. Mentoring : APAF has a very active mentoring program with over 40 formal mentor – mentee relationships , supported by tools and tracking mechanisms. This is in addition to informal mentoring , based on networks APAF members develop through attending National Summit and other APAF events.
3. Active members of various APAF organizations like National Steering Committee and Hubs provide significant opportunities to demonstrate their leadership skills with visibility to senior GE Leadership.
