The
Young Filipino Professionals Association
(YFPA) launched in May 2002 as a
collaborative forum for Filipino-American
professionals to connect and collaborate.
It was started by three classmates
from the University of San Francisco:
Neil Baquiran, Greg Montemayor and
Roselle Rapadas. The three recognized
a need in the San Francisco Bay
Area for a Fil-Am professional group
that would create and support professional
networking, educational and community
service activities. The purpose
was to build a stronger, well-established
and respected Fil-Am business community.
This purpose translated in to YFPA’s
long-lasting mantra: “Connect.
Educate. Serve.” With that
purpose in mind, the initial twelve
board members, who were from a variety
of professional backgrounds, built
the operational, legal and strategic
infrastructure of YFPA through a
variety of road mapping, discovery
and implementation sessions. From
this initial foundation, YFPA's
leadership and membership began
its mission to foster professional
connections, ideas, and expertise
to support and engage young Filipino
professionals in the greater San
Francisco Bay Area. |
