MISSION STATEMENT

The Congressional Korean American Staff Association (CKASA) is an official, non-partisan, bi-cameral Congressional Staff Organization (CSO), dedicated to expanding Korean-American representation on Capitol Hill through encouraging public service by Korean Americans, fostering strong relationships with the greater AAPI and DC community, and building a platform for professional development through mentorship.

HISTORY

At the start of the 116th Congress, CKASA was officially recognized by the Committee on House Administration.

In 2020, the Korean American Foundation of Greater Washington honored CKASA with the Proud Korean American Award, for their invaluable contributions in advancing and encouraging public service by Korean Americans.
