23rd Annual NAAAP National Convention & Diversity Career Fair

Join the National Association of Asian American Professionals (NAAAP) in Denver, CO for the 23rd Annual NAAAP National Convention: “Leadership at New Heights: Cultivating Leaders for Today and Beyond”.

Welcome to the Mile High City as we explore this year's theme, "Leadership at New Heights: Cultivating Leaders for Today and Beyond" This is the first time the NAAAP National Convention will be hosted in Denver. We welcome those from across the country to new heights: 5,280 feet in elevation to be exact!

Our theme this year aligns with NAAAP's vision of "We make leaders!" and further addresses the need for leaders in both the present and the future. For those who are currently in leadership roles, this is an opportunity to refine and add to the tools they have and also mentor to share their experiences with others. For our future leaders, it is an opportunity to build his/her skills, learn from our leaders of today and build a network of support in the future.
