POWER IN SOLIDARITY!

About Power in Solidarity

Over 30 years ago, Asian American, Pacific Islander, and Native American professionals in philanthropy came together to build a new vision for power in the sector. From this vision, our organizations were born: Asian Americans/Pacific Islanders in Philanthropy (AAPIP) and Native Americans in Philanthropy (NAP).

In honor of our shared origin story, AAPIP and NAP are hosting a Gathering of our relatives and relations in the philanthropy field. Together, we will celebrate the leadership of our peoples and cultures in the sector, develop strategies to build power and increase resources in our communities, and most importantly—have fun!

The health and safety of all involved is our top priority.

We are working diligently with our partners and vendors to ensure the necessary safety measures are in place to host a safe and healthy Gathering. The Power in Solidarity event will consider best practices, protocols, and/or legal mandates set forth by the venue, King County, the state of Washington, and the Center for Disease Control (CDC) at the time of the Gathering. 

As we continue to monitor constantly evolving COVID-19 data and guidelines, we will keep registrants updated on any changes on this page and via email.

The current COVID-19 health and safety protocols for Power in Solidarity are as follows and subject to change.

Following the latest public health guidelines, the Power in Solidarity event will require in-person attendees to be fully vaccinated and will encourage the wearing of masks while indoors except when drinking and/or eating. Proof of COVID-19 vaccination will be required for on-site registration.
According to the CDC, a person is considered fully vaccinated:

2 weeks (14 days) after your dose of an accepted single-dose vaccine
2 weeks (14 days) after your second dose of an accepted 2-dose series
2 weeks (14 days) after you received the full series of an accepted COVID-19 vaccine (not placebo) in a clinical trial

In addition to vaccination, our team may require a combination of additional on-site health and safety measures such as testing, masking, social distancing, and other activities deemed appropriate. All attendees must be prepared to comply with any and all measures in order to gain entrance.
If an attendee refuses to comply with any and all health and safety measures, they will be denied entrance to Power in Solidarity and all registration fees will be forfeited.

All registration fees for Power in Solidarity are final and nonrefundable. We understand the difficulty of making travel arrangements during this time; please ensure that before purchasing, you and/or your institution understand that registration for Power in Solidarity is non-refundable.

Power in Solidarity will offer a selection of hybrid sessions and therefore, if you’re no longer able to attend in person, you will still be able to participate in and/or access plenary sessions and select content.
