In February of 2007, a group of students at Yale University hosted a weekend of events which was unified by a theme of "Breaking Through". After the successful event, planning directors Allen Pan and Nancy Liang recognized the value in the East Coast Asian American Student Union ("ECAASU") core mission of helping Asian Americans eliminate discrimination and decided to form a national ECAASU organization with the dream that a National Board would extend the ECAASU mission to include the societal promotion of all minorities. Before the formation of this National Board, ECAASU existed as a number of unincorporated, disjointed, and unrelated school clubs.

By incorporating and obtaining nonprofit status, the activities planned by the national board would increase in scope to better benefit the public at large including all races, ethnicities, and genders.
