Realizing that there has been no formal planning in the Filipino community about how to navigate the complex nature of the second largest Asian Pacific American (APA) group, the Filipina Women’s Network is going to reach out to the mainstream U. S. community as well as the Filipino community, in two ways:

1. Convene the 4th Annual FILIPINA Summit on Oct. 27-29, 2006 in San Francisco.
2. Publish the FWN Magazine: FILIPINA Resource Guide & Membership Directory (November publication)

At this three-day gathering, Filipina women and its stakeholders will come together as a community to convene a Future Search Conference. We will articulate a progressive agenda to develop new strategies, expand and enhance current personal and professional situations, and share ideas about “re-invention” as a vehicle for social change.

The results of the Future Search will be published in the FWN Magazine - our Filipina Resource Guide & Membership Directory

The FWN Summit is held in October in celebration of Filipino Heritage Month.  2006 is the right time as we celebrate 100 years of Filipino contributions and achievements to Americn society.

Please join us - in a series of compelling conversations on what it takes to lead change and initiate re-invention.

Filipina Summit Fees:

* Early bird discounts until Sept. 30

The FWN Magazine will feature the FWN Members Directory, articles on Filipina women’s accomplishments in the U.S. , and will feature the results of the Future Search Conference. A 20,000 print run will be distributed in select zip codes as a supplement in the San Francisco Chronicle.
