NAAAP-DC Achieves 501(c)(3) Status!
Congratulations goes out to NAAAP-DC for achieving Federal 501(c)(3) status - we are now a fully-recognized non-profit organization. Incredible amount of thanks goes out to both Dwayne Sye and Christian Oh for spearheading this effort. The process was long and arduous - the team had to fill out a whole new application months into the process; however, Dwayne and Christian were able to utilize their 4.0 GPAs and astute acumen in completing the complex application forms.
Stay tuned for more updates,
NAAAP-DC
Here's a picture of our esteemed President, Christian Oh, hanging out with one of very active members, Wendy Kai Sung. I would have also posted a picture of Dwayne Sye; however, no known photo documentation of his existence can be found. Haha. Only kidding, Dwayne.
