FAPAC Announces Theme for the 2024 Asian American, Native Hawai’ian, and Pacific Islander Heritage Month
WASHINGTON, DC – The Federal Asian Pacific American Council (FAPAC), the premier organization representing Asian American, Native Hawai’ian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) employees in the Federal and District of Columbia governments, is proud to announce the 2024 National AANHPI Heritage Month Theme: "Advancing Leaders Through Innovation''. This year's theme is a continuation of the "Advancing Leaders'' series that began in 2021.
"Advancing Leaders Through Innovation," pays homage to the visionaries and trailblazers who have shaped our AANHPI history and continue to influence our collective future. Innovation, resilience, and a pioneering spirit are cornerstones of American leadership. AANHPI leaders have made lasting contributions to our Nation’s economic prosperity, technological advancements, and social/political change through their ingenuity and creativity while navigating significant cultural and systemic barriers.
In celebration of the 2024 theme, FAPAC invites all employees of the Federal and DC governments, as well as veterans, to the 39th National Leadership Training Program (NLTP) on May 6-9, 2024, at the National Conference Center in Leesburg, VA. The FAPAC NLTP is a reputable training program for current and aspiring public servants that delivers high-quality workshops, networking, and mentorship opportunities, and practical strategies for personal and professional development as it relates to the 2024 theme. During this week-long training, FAPAC will present the Civilian Awards, Uniformed Services Awards, and a $5,000 Distinguished Public Service Scholarship. Current students, recent graduates, and Veterans are also invited to participate in the free career fair and development program and network with attendees at the NLTP.
