“We Make Leaders!”
NAAAP New York is a non-profit, 501(c)(3), all-volunteer, Pan-Asian American professional organization that promotes the career advancement and leadership development of Asian-American professionals in all fields through professional development, community service, and social events. We are the founding, flagship chapter of the National Association of Asian American Professionals (NAAAP) with a history dating back to 1982.
Once a month, NAAAP-NY hosts a night of cocktails & conversation with different industries, community partners and corporate affinity groups networking with NAAAP NY members.
In April, Talk Tuesday returned as NAAAP-NY got the conversation going with members of Asian American Bar Association of New York (AABANY) and Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund (AALDEF)! Industries and networks intermingled as attendees enjoyed a great night of cocktails and conversation, with special Talk Tuesday Talking Points facilitating discussion on APIA issues. Two of our lucky guests won pairs of Yankees tickets, sponsored by DTI! See more photos

Professional photographer Hansen Hanggodo snapped professional headshots of attendees and recruiters Lou Mancuso and Robert Gibbs of Sight Staffing spoke about what recruiters look for in LinkedIn profiles and tips to improve profiles. The event was held at the beautiful studio at Image Powerhouse in Midtown Manhattan. The all-white backdrop provided a trendy canvas for the photos, and a chic space for the wine, mimosas, and finger foods served.
