A huge event took place in San Francisco from July 19-21, 2024, as the Association of Nepalis in America (ANA) held its annual conference, attracting Nepali diaspora from across the United States. Among the distinguished attendees was a board member of the Nepal Policy Institute (NPI) Mr. Kedar Neupane, who was invited to participate in the convention, reinforcing the longstanding collaboration between NPI and ANA. ANA is the oldest, pioneer & influential Nepali community organization (established in 1983) in North America.
NPI has been working closely with ANA, the oldest Nepali diaspora community organization in the US, for the past few years. This partnership reflects a shared commitment to fostering unity and harmony within the Nepalese diaspora in the Americas. While ANA focuses on community activities, NPI collaborates with ANA to to challenge the their knowledge resources useful for public policies in Nepal. Mr. Neupane during the convention addressed the ANA community, providing a comprehensive update on NPI’s recent activities and future initiatives.
The convention’s goals were multifaceted, emphasizing the promotion of unity and harmony among the Nepalese diaspora. Additionally, the event highlighted the commitment of both organizations to preserve and promote Nepali identity, culture, heritage, literature, and knowledge. These efforts are geared towards ensuring the prosperity and well-being of the Nepali community in the Americas. Over the course of three days, the convention offered a series of enlightening sessions, engaging forums, and dynamic networking opportunities. These activities were designed to explore new frontiers and foster meaningful connections among attendees. The event provided a platform for participants to engage in insightful discussions, share knowledge, and build lasting relationships.
The ANA annual conference in San Francisco was a resounding success, underscoring the importance of collaboration and community building within the Nepali diaspora. The participation of NPI and its board member was a testament to the strong bond between the two organizations and their shared vision for a united and prosperous Nepali community in the United States. We would like to express our gratitude towards the ANA family for the invitation and look forward to collaborate more in the days to come.
