NAAAP BALTIMORE LAUNCHES DURING
ASIAN PACIFIC AMERICAN HERITAGE MONTH

NAAAP Baltimore is "opening its doors" this May during Asian Pacific American Heritage Month. We welcome members who are ready to make Baltimore the best region for Asian Pacific Islander Desi Americans (APIDA) to live, work, and excel. 

We are grateful to partner with Charm City Night Market and join a pop-up of APIDA creatives and businesses every weekend in May at Whitehall Mill. Visit our table on Saturday or Sunday from 11:00 AM - 2:00 PM. Bring a friend and learn more about NAAAP Baltimore and our membership programs.

We are giving a small taste of our programs this month with four events you do not want to miss. Learn more below.
