Annual National Conference

The National Conference is an annual event, organized by NAVASA, where affiliate members of NAVASA, and other community-based and faith-based organizations can come together to learn from and network with each other. Our goals at the conference are to strengthen the capacity of community-based and faith-based organizations, assess and address the needs of Vietnamese Americans, and acknowledge and promote leaders in the community services.

At the conference, series of practical workshops, leadership seminars, and training sessions target three major groups. Participants from the groups include:

• Community-Based Organizations (CBOs);
• Faith-Based Organizations (FBOs); and
• Community leaders and activists

The conference workshops, presented by national known and well-respected expertise, will provide in-depth technical assistance, grant resources, program developments, leadership training and share best practices within the nonprofit community. A conference banquet is also planned to recognize Vietnamese American leaders and pioneers, and to promote young Vietnamese American leaders across the country.

Benefits from sponsoring and attending the conference are valuable to all organizations and corporations. In addition to demonstrating goodwill to the Vietnamese community, sponsors will expand their network, increase visibility, and be able to market and publicize their agency to the growing Vietnamese American and Asian American communities.

NAVASA 2005 National Conference: Empowering the Community Through Giving was held in the Washington D.C. Metropolitan area at the Hilton McLean Tysons Corner Hotel from July 15-16, 2005.
