Recap | NAAAP NATIONAL CONVENTION in ATLANTA

This was my third National Convention that I attended and every year gets better and better. I truly enjoyed seeing old friends ( Jim from San Francisco, Brad from Philly, Hector from North Carolina, Rose from Chicago, Shane from Columbus, and many more!)

The Gala Awards were a great event! Fantastic time to meet up with other ventures, hear about the accomplishments of the various chapters!! Congrats to NAAAP Columbus for Venture of the Year!! Also had a great time listening to Henry Cho, my fellow Asian Redneck comedian.

This year's convention was a truly a catalyst for growth, awareness, leadership and opportunity. I met some fantastic people and gained fabulous insight and best practices from some of the best Asian Pacific Americans/Canadians in all areas of business, industry and corporate leadership.
But with every NAAAP Convention, do we not only listen and work hard, but we play hard as well.

Check out the pics from the partying we did at various clubs in the area. Lotus Lounge, Velvet Room, and the 2nd floor Suite.

Next year's convention will be in the City of Angels. LOS ANGELES! It should be a fantastic time. Come out and get involved with NAAAP. For more pics check out our website http://www.naaapdc.org/
