2009- 2010 CPP Directors
Phale Le was a former CPP deputy director in 2007-2008 as well a Council of Regional Representative (CoRR) for the Mid Atlantic region. A recent graduate from the University of Maryland School of Public Health, Phale has held various roles in the community. With past experiences as the program director for the Maryland Vietnamese Mutual Association, a community liaison for VOICE and currently the Outreach Coordinator for Boat People SOS, Phale will bring great skills to the CPP campaign this year. In addition, as an anchor and reporter for VANTV and SBTN, she will ensure the partnership of the Vietnamese media with this year's CPP campaign.
Lisa Nguyen began her involvement with the Vietnamese Student Association at the University of Colorado at Boulder as a freshman in 2002. During her summer internships with Toyota Financial Services in California in 2006, she discovered Union of North American Vietnamese Student Association and has since been compelled by and supportive of the group’s causes. After graduating with a B.S. in Finance and Management, she moved to New York where she now works at the headquarters of Teach for America. Last Spring, she also held the role as Director of Communications for the first Hay Qua Conference, bringing together creative Vietnamese Americans on the East Coast.
Vietnamese American Heritage Foundation
http://www.vietnameseamerican.org/
The 2009-2010 CPP beneficiary, Vietnamese American Heritage Foundation (VAHF), is a non-profit organization founded in 2004 with the goal of restoring Vietnamese Americans’ lost identity. VAHF's mission is to spread awareness about Vietnamese Americans by collecting, preserving, promoting, and celebrating Vietnamese American history and heritage.
VAHF’s objectives are to:
- Provide opportunities for Vietnamese American individuals or organizations to contribute to the betterment of the American society and Vietnamese American Community through the understanding of our unique history and heritage
- Support active citizenship for Vietnamese Americans through participation in the American cultural and political system
- Promote the integration of the Vietnamese American community into American society while maintaining our unique and positive characteristics
CPP Campaign: 500 Oral History Project
uNAVSA will collaborate with VAHF to support its “500 Oral History Project,” which encompasses collecting 500 inspirational personal stories of courageous Vietnamese Americans, archiving it, and publishing it as an anthology. VAHF will share these stories by hosting seminars and providing exhibits of these stories at community centers and academic institutions throughout the country. Copies of these published anthologies will be made available to the public to give students and educators and opportunity to hear our side of history and for American teaching institutions to teach our history.
To accomplish the goal of this year’s campaign, uNAVSA and VAHF will collaborate to raise the necessary funds for this project. Phale and Lisa will be uNAVSA’s main point of contact for this year’s CPP and can be reached at phal...@unavsa.org and lisa....@unavsa.org, respectively. Please don’t hesitate to contact them to find out how you and your organization can become involved in this year’s CPP!
Please join us in welcoming Phale and Lisa as they spearhead the nationwide effort for this year’s CPP campaign with VAHF!
