Alameda Sister City Association (ASCA) has its roots in the 2006 efforts to establish sister city relations with a City in China. While activities which lead to the eventual official Sister City relationship between Alameda and Jiang yin City in China progressed and in recognition that a structure and funding would be needed for Sister City activities, founding members of what would become Alameda Sister City Association began work to establish a not for profit organization. ASCA was incorporated with work progressing to put by-laws and other corporate structure in place. ASCA has been recognized by both the State of California and U.S. Federal government as a non-profit organization and is actively building its membership to support the Sister City mission: 

“To promote peace through mutual respect, understanding, and cooperation — one individual, one community at a time.”
