Career Fair, support local Asian businesses, and more.
To all our NAAAP members and friends, we hope your celebration of the Lunar New Year and the Year of the Ox is a good one. Oxesarea symbol of diligence, dependability, strength, and determination, and NAAAP hopes you find all of that and more this year.
Regardless of where you are in the world right now, we invite you to celebrate with us by using the hashtag #NAAAPLunarNewYear across social media and see the different ways that NAAAP members are ushering in the new year.
Like an in-person event, NAAAP's Virtual Diversity Career Fair will offer job seekers a chance to connect with up to 8 recruiters and national corporations across the country. Recruiters will be able to screen candidates, text/chat one-on-one, and invite candidates to videoconference in real time.
In case you missed our event in January, view our recording on "How You and Your Community Can Help Fight COVID-19: Pass It On Clinical Trial." The webinar was hosted by NAAAP in partnership with Vanderbilt University Medical Center, the leader of the national research study, Pass It On, examining the use of convalescent plasma as a treatment for COVID-19. Watch the recording here.

This Lunar New Year, support local Asian businesses.
Since the start of the pandemic in 2020, Chinatowns and Asian grocers, restaurants, and small businesses suffered reduced patronage, out of fear, misunderstanding, and economic purse-tightening. Please support your local businesses by searching online for "Asian stores near me" or "local Asian restaurants." Buy frequently and tip well. Read more from this NBC reporton groups helping Chinatown businesses this Lunar New Year.
We encourage all NAAAP chapters to post about at least one Asian business they want to support this Lunar New Year, as a meaningful way to observe the holiday. Choose to order the soup dumplings, sticky rice, rice cake soup, and more from your favorite local restaurant this year to support our Asian community members. Post about it with the hashtag #NAAAPLunarYear!
