NAAAP 100: Recognizing Leaders

For more than a century, Asians have overcome obstacles to make significant contributions in both America and Canada. Their contributions have added tremendously to the success and prosperity of North America. NAAAP is a leadership development organization that provides a broad range of professional and educational services. It is only fitting then, that NAAAP recognizes leaders who exemplify our vision and mission. NAAAP is paying tribute to these leaders by creating a NAAAP 100 Recognition Program.

Nominations for the 2010 NAAAP 100 program are now open!  Please download the nomination form and send the completed nominations to naaap100@naaap.org.  Due to popular demand, the deadline for the 2010 nominations has been extended to Thursday, April 15th.
