Past Conventions

ANA has started a tradition of July 4th meetings where charitable, cultural, religious, and educational programs are conducted and enjoyed by all.

ANA annual meetings provide an opportunity to make new friends, to renew old friendships, and to network. Forums like the Women's, Young Professional, Technical, and Youth are platforms to discuss concerns regarding Nepalis across the globe. Over the years, these forums have become very popular, enlightening, and a learning experience for all of us. At the conventions, you can meet thousands of Nepalis, chat, dine, and enjoy songs and dances by Nepali matinee idols. ANA Annual meeting is a three day mela of fun, laughter, enjoyment, friendship and intellectual discourse.

The list below shows where all of the conventions have taken place. Click on the link to see what happened at the convention and for more details.

To all members and friends of the ANA - The Association of the Nepalis in the Americas

Namaskar,

ABOUT ANA CONVENTIONS:
Every ANA convention held on July 4th weekend in the past was equally important and had its own symbolic significances. It is never too late to express our gratitude to many organizers and wonderful volunteers whose dedication made all previous ANA conventions wherever they were held before 2011, memorable events. Thank you.

ABOUT 29th ANA-DC CONVENTION 2011:
On behalf of members and friends of ANA, it is my pleasure in admiration to salute the entire members of 29th ANA-DC CONVENTION 2011 team lead by Convention Coordinator Mr. Hemanta Shrestha. The volunteers, the attendees, the vendors, the media and all others who took part in different activities during this convention were our ANA stars that made 29th ANA-DC Convention 2011 a historical event of its own. Thank you to all. 

Some of us who have been in and around ANA for a long time felt woe noticing the absence of some frequent ANA convention attendees (especially some of the former presidents of ANA) and their family members in 29th ANA-DC Convention 2011.  I would be lying if I did not admit that I miss their absence. However, members and friends of ANA in unity acknowledge that their contributions in advancing the foundation of ANA shall be coined permanently in the history of the association despite of their absence.

The final and complete financial details of 29th ANA-DC Convention 2011 will be made public within few days. We leave the attendees to be the sole judges in measuring the achievement of the 29th ANA-DC Convention 2011. The overwhelming enthusiasm shown by the next 30th ANA Convention Hosting Team of great State of Texas it self, speaks the volume of attractions for ANA generated by the 29th ANA-DC Convention 2011. The proof is in the pudding. Mr. Pasang Lama who is amongst a handful of very successful Nepali entrepreneur in the USA, the Coordinator of the 30th ANA Convention assured that the next ANA Convention shall be most attractive, productive and financially rewarding event for the ANA.

FORGIVENESS IS THE ONLY WAY, A NEPALI WAY.
ANA is now on the 29th year, and shall continue to live as the Association of the Nepalis, for the Nepalis and friends of Nepal, and by the Nepalis in Americas. We live in a democratic nation with equal liberty and freedom to all. We are all equally passionate about defending the institutional integrity of ANA. Our differences are not colossal, but a side effect of simple misunderstanding between us. Therefore, for the indisputable Nepali unity, forgiveness is the only way by which we all can simultaneously embrace and be free of our past differences. Forgiveness, by all to all without a condition is the fundamental step in building ANA to the expectation of our past and hope for our future. So, once again, and again and again I shall make a humble appeal to all to cultivate forgiveness amongst us to cherish Nepali unity for Nepali prosperity.

Thank you,

Tsewang Sherpalama
