| Seattle to host NaFFAA’s 8th National Empowerment Conference September 26 – 28, 2008, Westin Hotel NaFFAA is a non-profit, non- partisan tax exempt 501 (c) (3) organization. Its main objective is to promote the welfare and well being of Filipinos and Filipino Americans throughout the United States by fostering unity and empowerment. This year’s theme is “Forging a New Filipino American Agenda for the 21st Century”. The Filipinos and Filipino Americans during the last 100 years have grown to over 2.5 million in America. It was many years of struggle and challenges, but Filipinos rose from humble beginnings and worked together to raise awareness about the important accomplishments in the field of politics, community service, industry, culture and many others. These achievements and successes have earned the Filipinos a rightful place in society. |

| Today, we shall move forward to the 21st Century with more vigor and a more solid presence to ensure the growth and improvement of our communities in the decades to come. With the new global economic changes, the future generation will be faced with more powerful challenges in America. We are prepared. Our leaders are dynamic and committed. This conference will provide delegates from all over the United States and other parts of the world with the opportunity for new directions to unite, share, educate, network and advocate not only on national, civic and domestic policy matters affecting Filipino Americans, but also on issues such as improving the academic achievement of Filipino American students with access to funding for higher levels of education, ensuring that competent services by health providers are given to Filipino Americans, and developing the community in understanding and providing a strong economic base by increasing awareness of new and global emerging economic market trends. The work will be heavy and the journey long, but in the end it will ensure a more prominent place for the Filipino and Filipino American in the American enterprise. |
