Organization of Vietnamese Professionals

History:

The Vietnamese Professionals website was launched in June 2007. It was used primarily to schedule events for the group but eventually evolved into a gathering place for the Vietnamese American Community. As the membership grows, I will be adding additional features that will facilitate communication and collaboration. The vision is to have one network of Vietnamese Professionals that connects all people of Vietnamese descent around the world.

I hope you find this website to be a useful tool in social and professional networking. Connecting people with similar interests and a common bond is my goal and I invite you to join the community.
