Due to these unexpected circumstances, this year's conference, "Bago sa Atin" that was to be hosted at Central Washington University, is unfortunately cancelled. Money has been refunded to those who already bought their tickets, and a contingency plan for the event is currently being arranged.
Elections are still coming up! This is a great way for members of NWFASA to become more involved with their community while also developing skills in official positions. We highly encourage that you look into nominating yourself or a friend that you think is fit for the job. Stay updated on instagram and facebook, and also look into our elections info pamphlet here.
TULAY: Thriving, Uniting and Learning Across the YearsConference is a flagship event that NWFASA hosts annually which draws together Filipino and Filipino-Americans all across the Pacific Northwest. Isang Bansang Pilipino at Oregon State University is proud to host the 2019 alliance conference as NWFASA celebrates its 25th anniversary as an established organization.
With 2019 being a significant year for the alliance, this year's conference theme is "25 Years of TULAY (bridge in Tagalog) - Thriving, Uniting and Learning Across the Years," bridging together not only the past, present, and future of the alliance but also the diverse lived experiences of the Pilipino/a/x. |
