BPSOS has experienced significant growth and positive media, especially with Pamela Constable's article in The Washington Post on 2008 October 21. On 2008 December 6, BPSOS volunteer and former (1996-2002) board member Anh "Joseph" Cao became the first Vietnamese-American to be elected to Congress. (en)
