Join us for this 1-day conference in the nation’s capital which will focus on cultivating and transforming leaders in their careers with the Federal government. Together, we will engage in curated professional development topics that address challenges that AA and NHPIs face in the workplace, especially as we progress in our careers.

This conference is open to AA and NHPI federal employees at all stages of their career, and sessions will focus on developing leadership skills and competencies at all levels of the federal workforce. Leadership is a lifelong journey that requires community, commitment and perseverance, and the diverse AA and NHPI workforce continue to lead and model change in the evolving workplace.

The event will tentatively be held from 9:30am - 5pm ET. The full agenda will be posted closer to the date but some highlights to look forward to:

  • Smaller breakout sessions covering topics such as leadership skills training, effective communication, and more!
  • Large group engagement sessions
  • Relationship-building through informal networking
  • Gathering together as a diverse AA and NHPI community

This conference will also be available to participants who cannot attend in-person, via Zoom.

Hosted and co-sponsored by the White House Initiative on Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders (WHIAANHPI), Office of Personnel Management (OPM), and Department of Transportation (DOT).
