You’re invited to celebrate NAAAP-KC’s 15th Anniversary!

Honoring 15 years of leadership, community, and connection

Join us for a vibrant evening with members, sponsors, and community leaders as we honor the past, celebrate the present, and look toward the future. Guests will enjoy food, music, and meaningful networking opportunities in a festive atmosphere at the Historic Folly Theater.

The program will recognize and celebrate our members and valued sponsors, past and present—including Hallmark, where the founding members of the Kansas City chapter worked—for their commitment and support over the last 15 years. Together, we’ll highlight the leadership, community impact, and partnerships that have strengthened the Asian American professional community in our region.

This milestone celebration is both a reflection on how far we’ve come and a heartfelt thank you to the members, sponsors, and community partners who continue to make NAAAP-KC’s mission possible.
