Welcome to NAAAP Seattle

I want to thank all of you - past and present - who have joined the Seattle Chapter of the National Association of Asian American Professionals. As it stands, many have become leaders in our community while some are facing real challenges. The leadership team understands this and is excited to serve and make this a great community for all. We need your commitment though. We believe NAAAP is creating opportunities for the next generation of Asian Americans to live prosperous lives. Your participation and contributions are truly appreciated.

As the start of a new decade won't you create a new commitment for yourself and your family? The commitment of success. It's all right here within NAAAP Seattle. So I encourage you to come join our events and engage with other members.

As the leadership team enters the new year, this February we will be sending two representatives to the National Retreat in Connecticut. Here is where we get the opportunity to have an input to the national agenda. If you haven't already done so, it's not too late for you to provide feedback and continue to make this a valuable resource for the Asian community.

I started this blog so that you can see my perspective on leadership and get updates with the chapter. Please let me know how NAAAP can help you in meeting your needs as a member. See you all soon.
