I AM-The world around us.
The culture among us.
The power within ME.
This year we want to focus on what defines us individually as Filipino Americans. Whether you're an aspiring artist, singer, dancer, doctor, NURSE, engineer, etc., everyone has their own unique way of translating the Filipino American culture through who they are and who they want to be. Perhaps you're into writing, photography, or social equality. This conference is meant for you to express yourselves. We live in this world, immersed in our culture, never realizing that we have the power within us to leave our own foot prints in Filipino American history. Take this opportunity to define who you are and fill in the blank...
