FIND Conference 2009

The Filipino Intercollegiate Networking Dialogue, Inc. (FIND, Inc.) would like to extend an invitation to the community to attend the 2009 Spring Conference hosted at Drexel University the weekend of March 27-29.

The theme of this conference is Filipino pride and is entitled, May Yabang, Hindi Mayabang which roughly translates to “With pride, Not arrogance”. The goal of Conference is to provide the delegates with historical information of how Filipino pride today stems from the accomplishments of Filipinos of the past, to enable delegates to connect with Filipinos who have made great achievements in their respective endeavors and inspire delegates to have a positive feeling of Filipino pride, and to call on delegates to self reflect and use their pride to better themselves and their communities. By providing this new understanding of Filipino pride and achievements, delegates will be able to serve as models for a positive outlook and a search for excellence within the Filipino community and beyond.

FIND, Inc. was founded April 11, 1992. The purpose of the organization is to promote unity and cooperation amongst Filipino and Filipino Americans along the East Coast through their universities, colleges, vocational and technical schools. District V, or better known as “D5,” encompasses the Delaware, Pennsylvania, and Southern New Jersey area.
