Internal Relations
The Internal Relations Committee (IRC) provides an outlet for general members to learn more about the intricacies of AAA, without being on committee or Cabinet. All the members are divided into several �families� of 20-40 members and headed by 2 �parents,� who are experienced AAA members who have served in a committee member role, or beyond. Parents hold individual events for their families as well as participate in larger AAA events that foster family pride. The family system personalizes the AAA experience for its members despite the largeness of the club and emphasizes the vast network of friendships, bonds, and connections that all members have with each other and that fact that AAA is always open and welcome to anyone.
Other events/projects include:
Family Night - Members meet prospective parents, brothers, and sisters at this event. By playing ice-breakers, eating food, and bonding with their family, members start off the semester with a sense of belonging.
Family Events - All parents are responsible for planning their own events for their kids throughout the semester. These events range from movie nights to dinners to concert trips: they supplement the events that committees put on.
Broomball - This fun Cal must-do is the first All-Family event that pits families against one another on the ice rink, a competition for family pride and bragging rights. Families bond over the fierce competition as well as the silliness and laughter at spills.
RSF/Maxwell Field Night - Family pride is on the line again as families battle it out on the sports field. Everyone has a chance to show off their athletic skill, compete and bond with their families as a team, and experience an action-packed night.
Boomers - A fun event at an incredibly fun and exciting theme park, Boomers draws in large crowds of members ranging from new, incoming members to alumni, literal and figurative, and allows these various generations of AAA members a chance to connect over terrific games and activities there. This event is joint with HC.
Thanksmas - What's in the middle of two holidays but twice as fun? Thanksmas provides many students with a much needed break from school work in the form of a grand holiday celebration. Kids are surrounded by large quantities of food, friends, and family in this festive feast.
Last Supper - The semester ends with even more food as families take the time to enjoy a great buffet, reflect on all the memorable and fun experiences with each other within their families, and pass around gifts!
Facilitating the AAA Experience - AAA parents make sure every AAA member has a personal AAA experience. Parents do this by calling and emailing their family about AAA events so they may attend together, and making sure everyone feels included in the family.
Issues

Issues
The Issues Committee (ISSUES) creates a space for students to recognize and address current topics pertinent to the Asian American society. Another important aspect of Issues is to develop leaders who can proactively voice out and represent Asian Pacific Islander Americans (APIA) and UCB topics and areas of concern to help empower the entire APIA community, to alleviate apathy, and to appreciate cultural dynamics.

The event strived to increase awareness of up-and-coming talents in mainstream media through entertainment by encouraging the audience members to assess API issues and by inspiring them to take part in a cultural movement. All the proceeds was donated for a charity in API community.
