Recognizing the pivotal
role that young Vietnamese American leaders will have in their communities and
other areas, a group of youth, community and professional organizations have
organized a major conference for young Vietnamese American leaders from
pre-College students to young professionals. The Vietnamese American Youth Leadership
Conference (VAYLC) will be held on June 30 - July 3, 2004 in Washington, D.C. Past participants
have come from diverse areas throughout the United States, England and Australia.
The conference will focus on leadership
development, service to the community and participation in the public and policy
sector. The seminars will be dynamic, interactive, and will be led by
experienced and well-known professionals and scholars throughout the U.S.
VAYLC is an excellent opportunity for young Vietnamese American
and Asian Pacific American leaders to
meet and network with their peers from across the nation, from many student associations to young professional associations to established community
organizations.
Conference participants will also have time to visit and talk with U.S.
Senators, Representatives, and White House Officials, and to tour the U.S. Capitol,
the White House, the Supreme Court, the Library of Congress, the Pentagon and other famous
monuments and museums. Participants will also enjoy a Gala Dinner
featuring a very special Keynote Speaker who will inspire our participants.
