MANY THANKS to all who supported FANHS!!

What a memorable time we had in Seattle! More than 500 joined us at FANHS this year.

Many, many thanks to all who sponsored, presented, performed, volunteered, organized, donated to and attended the 13th biennial national conference of FANHS this July 21-24, 2010 at Seattle University! We appreciate everyone who has been part of FANHS in some way -- including many of you who've supported FANHS from a distance.

People have stopped to write and tell me how much they enjoyed and learned from this conference. The "morning after" FANHS, professor/author Leny Strobel wrote about "The Good Work of FANHS" on her blog: http://kathang-pinay2.blogspot.com/2010/07/good-work-of-fanhs.html

Aldrich Sabach of PEP http://pepsf.org/ shares his FANHS 2010 collection with all of us:

We'll add to these links as we move forward and continue to promote Filipino American history.

I'm ever hopeful,

BIOS of FANHS National Conference Presenters

FANHS has a wonderful team of national presenters of all ages and backgrounds -- elders, students, scholars, artists, professionals, writers.

In an effort to be "green," bios of FANHS national conference presenters are linked here and will not be in the printed program. Efforts were made to include bios of all presenters who emailed their bios to me. A number of presentations were added by the program committee later in the planning. We apologize for any omissions.
