OCA National Convention in Seattle, WA
This year’s theme, “Passage to Seattle: From AYPE 1909 to AANHPI Rising 2025,” reflects our commitment to empowering the next generation of leaders while recognizing the pivotal role college campuses, like the University of Washington, have played in historic civil rights movements.
Co-hosted with OCA-Greater Seattle, the conference will feature interactive workshops, thought-provoking discussions, and engaging activities for students, professionals, thought leaders, and community members. Together, we will reflect on our history—both the progress and the injustices—and take actionable steps toward strengthening a multi-racial democracy where equity and justice thrive.
Join us in Seattle as we honor our past, empower our communities, and shape the future!
