Join ANA Leadership Team- Make a Difference!

Association of Nepalis in Americas is the national platform organization of Nepali Diaspora in North Americas. It has storied history and a unique place among lives of the Nepalis. In concert with local and regional associations, ANA can be the most consequential organization.  

Fellow well wishers of ANA, you made it clear during the recent election for ANA President that ANA leadership needed to be opened up so anyone interested had an opportunity to serve the community. This message is to ask you to come join the team to make a difference through community service. This is a direct result of the election mandate given by you.  

For the first time in the history of ANA a public call is being made to join the leadership team to serve the Nepali community. In this new ANA we are seeking for transparency, accountability, and dynamic methods for having greater say by the members in the direction of building a better than ever organization.  

ANA is the single national organization of all Nepalis in Americas therefore it has the biggest responsibility for the betterment of the entire community.   

If your answer is yes to following questions, you are the change we need!

Are you a people’s person? 
Do you love team work? 
Do you want to make a difference in your community?

Do you love networking? 
Do you consider yourself vibrant, full of energy, active and self-motivated? 
  
You can immediately start making a difference as functional managers, project leads, and at-large volunteers working on your own schedule. If you are a professional or an expert with specialties and do not want to commit long term, or take a formal role, Nepali community needs you as well.
