Last September 29, 2023, NaFFAA hosted the Civic Leadership Forum at the M Resort Hotel and was attended by eminent FilAm community and civci leaders in Nevada and the Desert Mountain Region. The forum was a powerful platform for civic engagement and empowering the Filipino American community. Keynote speakers and panelists discussed the importance of diversity and collective voices in civic leadership. The event also highlighted the upcoming film '1521' and the collaboration of the Arizona Filipino community. Dialogues emphasized the impact of engagement in creating positive change. Delegates returned with a renewed sense of purpose, determined to contribute to their communities. The organizers believe the ripple effect of CLF 23 will inspire more individuals to step forward and foster change. NaFFAA, the organization behind the forum, continues to promote leadership, advocacy, engagement, and Filipino culture.
