greetings from the
CONVENTION chairs
On behalf of NAAAP San Francisco, we welcome you to the 18th annual NAAAP
National Convention.
San Francisco is home to cable cars, Fisherman’s Wharf, Alcatraz, Angel Island, and sourdough bread. Known as the City by the Bay, the Golden Gate City, and the bridge to the Pacific,
it is the perfect place to host this year’s theme, “Crossing Brides”.
A bridge is built to span the distance from where you are to where you want to be. Most bridges
in our lives already exist before we cross them. This convention has been designed to help you to
move forward towards your goals, to cross your bridges.
You will find a convention schedule packed full of workshops, panels, speakers, exhibitors, recep-
John Fok
tions, entertainment, and other activities.
To help identify your bridges we have invited dynamic speakers and experts from industry and the
community to bring new knowledge, new perspectives, and lessons for the future. Workshop leaders
will be teaching skills and tools to help you succeed both professionally and personally.
NAAAP conventions have always been a fantastic opportunity to transcend geographic differences
Amy Tan
to strengthen existing relationships, make new friends, explore possibilities, and expand horizons.
Please take advantage of the breaks, meals together, and other opportunities to network with
other attendees, make new connections, and have fun in the process.
This convention would not have been possible without the contributions from our sponsors,
industry partners, and tireless volunteers. Please join us in thanking them all for their
support and belief in NAAAP’s mission and goals.
David Ching
We look forward to spending the next few days with you together. Identify your
bridges. Pay the toll. Span the distance and reach your goals.
Sincerely,
2004 National Convention Chairs

greetings from the
naaap SAN FRANCISCO president
I would like to thank you for joining us in this very special event.
Crossing Bridges is our first ever NAAAP National Convention and we are excited to
present you this opportunity to meet our extended family of friends and supporters from all
across the United States and Canada in the heart of our great city, San Francisco.
This event embodies the vision of NAAAP San Francisco—a vision that we’re excited to share
with the hundreds of Asian Americans that visits us from over twenty cities.
NAAAP San Francisco is about creating a professional and personal community that allows us to
foster as leaders, excel in our professions, enrich ourselves personally, and come together as a
motivated body of action strengthened by our commonalities as Asian Americans.
Over the years, NAAAP San Francisco has worked hard to spearhead this vision into action. We’ve
reached out to our community with events, awareness, and support. We brought together our
politicians and lawmen, our businessmen and engineers, our artists and musicians, our professional
and community organizations, and many others.
We supported each other, led the way for each other, and successfully crossed bridges to new
plateaus of empowerment, excellence, and exploration. We look forward to continue this success
and welcome you to join us in this venture—here at this special event and in the many more
occasions to come.
We would like express our deepest gratitude to all the wonderful, dedicated and warmhearted volunteers, sponsors, and friends who have contributed to the success of NAAAP
San Francisco and our first-ever NAAAP National Convention.
Best wishes for a memorable time!
Yours sincerely,
David Ching

greetings from the
naaap NATIONAL president
Dear Friends:
I would like to welcome everyone to the 2004 NAAAP National Convention in San
Francisco. For the past 3 conventions, it has been held on the east coast and it’s wonderful
to have the convention back on the west coast to celebrate the accomplishments of our sister
chapters on the west coast.
Another year has passed and again, NAAAP has made significant progress as we forge ahead as
a unified organization in pursuit of our mission to develop Asian American leaders in the workplace
and the community.
This year NAAAP had the pleasure of hosting an event in honor of the Secretary of Labor, the Honorable Elaine L. Chao where she was given the first NAAAP National Recognition Award for her commitment to the Asian American community. As the first Asian American woman to serve in a presidential
cabinet, she definitely serves as a symbol of leadership.
Leadership takes on many forms but one of the most important aspects of leadership is having vision
and also the vision to know that you can’t do it alone. This year, membership rose in many of our
chapters as the word is getting out on NAAAP.
As the national president, I have the privilege to represent so many wonderful and committed
volunteers and leaders. Together, we can truly build an organization that inspires leadership so
that we can influence the workplace and the community.
I encourage each and every one of you to take the workshops that the committed
volunteers of the 2004 NAAAP National Convention team has assembled this year and
to really take in the true meaning of this year’s theme, “Crossing Bridges.” Anyone
can see the other side of the bridge but it will take a leader to cross it.
Sincerely,
Vincent Yee
National President

Overcoming Fear
Learn How To Overcome Psychological Barriers To Reach Success @ Presidio
Did you know that you were born with only two natural fears? The fear of falling and loud noises.
Every other fear you had to learn. How much have your fears cost you? What opportunities have
you missed? This workshop will explore the causes of phobias and fears and will teach attendees
how to remove any fear through fear removal techniques.

Brian Calder’s early career was with the Financial Times
Newspaper in London where he built his first company
Datafleet Ltd. He raised $10,000,000 venture capital
and formed Atrium Communications. While researching
accelerated learning technologies for this business he
discovered techniques that remove phobias and fears
easily and permanently using technologies developed
by Dr Richard Bandler, the co-developer of NLP. He has
removed many phobias and fears from people individually
and in groups. These techniques are not content specific
and are purely process. “The mind works fast—the great
thing about the fact that fears are learned quickly is
that we can unlearn the fear just as fast” Brian’s current
venture is a business called Freedom Solutions, a real
estate investment business that has turned a $250,000
initial investment into over $2,000,000. This business
employs many of the principles Brian will discuss. Calder

The Power Of Networking - continued @ Pacific Heights
The forces of change and choice often inhibit our ability to get to know our colleagues, our
neighbors, or even to stay in touch with family and friends. The Power of Networking is a simple
and accessible system to help individuals create and strengthen more fulfilling and more mutually beneficial relationships, careers, and lives The major objective of this networking system is to
build a sense of community through mutual benefit and support. Real leadership starts with the
ability to communicate and connect with individuals in your existing network and to expand your
circle of influence to include others. This interactive workshop teaches a straightforward and accessible form of personal strategic planning and the fundamentals of networking as a life skill for
personal and professional fulfillment. (This session is a continuation of the first session.)

values that span beyond simple adequacy. The physicians
who referred patients to her started becoming her clients
as well. These physicians realized that they needed to
know how to speak to fellow doctors, interns, and boards

about naaap
NAAAP, the National Association of Asian American Professionals, was founded in 1982 with its first chapter in New
York City. At first, the organization was called the National
Association of Young Asian Professionals. The name soon
changed to embrace a broader range of Asian Pacific
American professionals, and perhaps because the officers
themselves were getting older.
The organization at first was rather informal, providing
networking and activity opportunities for the post-collegiate APA professional. Its commitment to being an organization for all Asian ethnicities, and for all professions,
made it different from other groups in the city. Despite the
name change, the organization also continued to focus
primarily on the needs of younger Asian Pacific American
professionals.
A concept like this was too good to stay bottled up for too
long and other chapters sprung up in Boston in 1986 and
Chicago in 1987. These three chapters formed the beginnings of NAAAP National. At first, NAAAP National merely
consisted of networking and idea sharing amongst the
local officers of the three chapters at an annual summer
retreat, but the benefits of having a organized national
entity were apparent.
NAAAP National made its 1991 retreat in Cape Cod, Massachusetts more structured and accessible to the general
membership. 1991 also saw the creation of the NAAAP
National Board and election of its first National Chair,
Robert Tanzil.
The Asian Management Business Association in Seattle,
Washington, became NAAAP’s fourth local chapter in
1992. AMBA was originally founded in 1979 as an organization for Asian MBA graduates but expanded its scope
through its involvement with NAAAP (officially changing
its name to NAAAP Seattle at its 20th anniversary in
1999). Incidentally, one AMBA/NAAAP Seattle member
would later be elected Governor of his state - Gary Locke.
NAAAP National held its first “real” annual convention
in 1992 in Chicago, with multiple tracks of workshops
and programming, corporate sponsors and gala evening
events spread throughout Labor Day weekend. The Labor
Day weekend timing of the convention was a tradition
for many years. It was finally changed to a non-holiday
weekend in 2000 at the request of sponsors and career
fair recruiters. The national convention site has rotated
among the NAAAP chapters throughout North America.
New NAAAP chapters were founded in Houston, Texas,
and Denver, Colorado in 1994. Asian Professional
Exchange, started in 1993 in Los Angeles, became a
NAAAP affiliate in 1995 and a full-fledged chapter in
1996. Two organizations in San Francisco, Club Asean
(founded 1984) and M Society West (founded 1995), both
joined as NAAAP affiliates in 1996 as well. Club Asean
(later re-incorporated as NAAAP San Francisco) became
a full chapter in 1999. NAAAP Toronto, founded in 1999,
achieved full chapter status in 2001. Both Americans and
Canadians of Asian Pacific Islander heritage share similar
professional needs and challenges, and the growth of
NAAAP into Canada reflects this.
To make NAAAP available to a wider audience, NAAAP
National encourages the development of chapter startups
(known as “ventures”) throughout the nation. Running a
non-profit, all-volunteer organization is difficult, especially when the officers are typically full-time working
professionals who run NAAAP in their free time, so it’s
no surprise that not every venture has succeeded. Even
chapters like NAAAP-Colorado and affiliates like M Society West have closed their doors over time. But NAAAP is
proud to say that many of the ventures have survived, and
some have successfully become full-fledged chapters,
such as NAAAP Atlanta in 2002.
NAAAP currently has 17 chapters and ventures in major
metropolitan cities throughout the United States and
Canada.
The organization has always had a wide reaching mission:
“To provide a broad range of Asian American professional
and educational services that meets the needs of individuals, corporations and government through the efforts,
experiences, talents and dedication of our volunteers.”
At its first winter retreat in 2001, NAAAP created a vision
statement to bring focus to the mission:
“NAAAP is the proving ground for Asian North American
Professionals, forging leaders of tomorrow through professional development, cultural awareness, and community service today.”
NAAAP today is over twenty years old, and this renewed
commitment to professional and leadership development
will help NAAAP continue to succeed for the next twenty.
However, this doesn’t happen without the enthusiasm, interest, innovation and hard work of its members. Perhaps
as an active member, sponsor or officer, I encourage you
to help write the next chapter of NAAAP’s history, by being
a part of NAAAP’s future.
Jhemon Lee, M.D., is the current NAAAP National
Executive Vice President. He served as NAAAP National
President in 1998-2000, NAAAP-Chicago President in
1997-98, and has been on the boards of three different
NAAAP chapters.
