Our Team

Bora Lam

Co-Founder/Board Advisor

As the Co-Founder/Former President of CAAG, I am a manager at UPS. I have been with Big Brown for over 20 years. Please use UPS for all of your shipping needs because UPS gives back to the communities. This is a great opportunity to express my sincere appreciation for all of the support that CAAG has been receiving throughout the years. This is my heartfelt belief and I challenges my fellow US citizens to not play the victim game, by continuing to label themselves as ‘REFUGEES’, even after living here for more than three decades. My mantra, "Don’t let the past pull you down, but be optimistic and invest in the future to pull you up. Stay hungry and stay humble.

My appreciation for what my father taught me to study hard but also never lose sight of my roots -my heritage, culture and language. CAAG helps my children and along with many other Cambodian-Americans; it helps the next generation to continue the roots and have sense of belonging. Currently, I continue to volunteer as Public Relations on CAAG’s board. I am active in the Asian-American community.

I hope to follow in the footsteps of the many great leaders who came before me, but I also want to leave my own blazing trail for others to follow.
