The NAAAP National Convention Committee is proud to invite you to become a sponsor of the 22nd Annual NAAAP National Convention to be held August 21 - 24, 2008 at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza in Los Angeles, California. The theme of this year’s conference is “Leadership: Rising and Shining Stars”

Over the past quarter century, NAAAP has grown to become one of the largest organizations representing Asian American professionals. As a result, our conventions have become a marquee annual event for many companies.

As a sponsor your company’s presence will be recognized and seen by over 1000 attendees and an additional 20-30,000 Asian Americans across the United States and Canada. This extensive exposure will provide an opportunity to promote your products and services, reinforce brand identity and recruit highly skilled professionals.

With the Hollywood glamour of Los Angeles as our backdrop, the 2008 convention will showcase an energized career fair, inspirational keynote speakers, thought-provoking seminars, a golf tournament and events that capture the sights and sounds of L.A. We anticipate a high attendance at the 2008 Annual Convention and welcome your participation.

Program book advertisements are part of the standard package for our corporate sponsors. However, if you’d only like to buy an advertisement in the program book, which will be seen by the 1000 convention attendees:
