NAAAP Power Lunch

I started enjoying my life in Atlanta as I attend more social events and meet people. Through my friend, I got to know this National Association for Asian American Professionals (NAAAP) organization. I was pleasantly surprised the size and activities of the organization. I attended one of their biggest events last weekend and heard about the Power Lunch. Since it was going to be at the next building of my office, I attended although I didn’t know anyone (Wasn’t I brave, as always?). The lunch was a small but powerful networking opportunity and truly enjoyed getting to know some people. During the lunch, I learned about a leadership workshop and planed to attend it next weekend. It seems like I have more things to put on my social calendar now.

Oh! The main mission of the NAAAP is to build network and positive impression for Asian American professionals across the business industry. When I mentioned this to one of my co-workers, he said “isn’t the impression is smart and hard worker? Why do you guys need to change that?” Well.. I guess that’s a good stereotype. Maybe the new mission of NAAAP should be “We know how to have fun.” That sounds more like my-kind-of organization. ;)
