Networking Mixer at Furio Networking Mixer at Furio
The evening at NAAAP mixer went smoothly, highlighted by the terrific location, the networking format and the friendliness shown by those who attended. It was well-run and effective, very much like the other Evening Networking Events I’ve attended so far. I will make small suggestions if I spot areas that could be changed to make these get-togethers even more useful and memorable. The executive board and the leaders of NAAAP are doing an outstanding job; it is why I joined the group, even without any lobbying from members I have met over the summer.

I have been looking for a professional organization to join and I am very honored to be asked by NAAAP – a professional organization composed of active, energized professionals from around the Valley. It is empowering to share ideas, challenges, resources and referrals with fellow Asian Americans, all of whom are looking to build relationships and assist each other with products and services.

At the meetings and monthly activities I’ve gone to, I’ve been encouraged and inspired by the professional speakers and what they said in their presentation as well as they way they delivered it. I love the fact that this board and its members are open to activities outside of the normal business topics. The personal-growth activities and community-service events this year are refreshing to take part in.

I foresee NAAAP having a positive impact on how we Asian American professionals are perceived and received by the community. The regular meetings, out-of-the-box activities, community-related programs, fund-raising events and consistent exposure to the media in town will help raise the stature and relevance of NAAAP. Again, my sincere thanks to Jason and the board for inviting me and allowing me to be a part of this terrific organization.
