           COMMENTS  

           Background and Purpose  . The California AAPEI has been based on  
          the CSU, Dominguez Hills campus since 2001.  According to AAPEI,  
          its mission is to influence public policy debates through  
          on-going academic and community research dealing with African  
          American economic and political development issues in  
          California; document and analyze the professional lives and  
          achievements of African American public-elected officials,  
          business leaders, and policy makers as well as the impact of  
          their efforts on the political, social, and economic development  
          in the African American communities and other disadvantaged  
          communities; and, provide training programs for current and  
          future business people.

          According to the author, renaming the Institute after Former Lt.  
          Governor, State Senator and Assembly Member Dymally, who passed  
          away on October 7, 2012, will provide a lasting and appropriate  
          tribute for his over 40 years of dedicated service to the state.
