As a cultural steward, SEACMA is an essential part of Worcester's thriving and complex urban environment and proactively takes leadership in leveraging its values-driven influence and cultural expertise to advance social justice, equity, and understanding beyond outside their walls. Under Anh Vu Sawyer, Executive Director, SEACMA is a unique organization which is a regional and national leader in shaping the American narrative through the immigrant, refugee, and Asian Pacific American experience.
