Members at the forum highlighted some of the problems they said AAA needs to resolve.
While AAA has a mission statement to educate Harvard about the Asian-American community, students say it is unclear what this means.
"Why am I going to invest my time in an organization where I don't know what I'm working toward?" said Robert S. Nocon '02, a member of HPF.
Paula V. Fernandez, also a member of HPF, said AAA focuses on East Asian issues.
"AAA is East-Asian oriented, and the Philippines has a very different history," she said.
Additionally, organizations want to work together, but they want to preserve their own distinct identities as well.
"We want to work together, but we don't want to lose our autonomy . And this problem is going to always be here," said Thomas S. Yu '00, co-president of CSA.
