15 Years Β· One Movement Β· One Historic Gathering
Since 2011, the Nigerian American Public Affairs Committee has been the organized voice of a community that helped build this nation.
Now, 15 years later, we are no longer simply present at the table β we are shaping what happens there.
This October, NAPAC USA convenes its most consequential gathering yet β in Los Angeles, at the crossroads of entertainment, political power, and cultural pride.
In 2011, a small group of Nigerian Americans made a decision: stop watching from the sidelines. NAPAC was born from that conviction β that organized presence translates to political power.
Fifteen years later, the results are undeniable. NAPAC chapters span the nation. Our members hold elected office, lead advocacy campaigns, and shape policy at local, state, and federal levels.
But 2026 is not the time to celebrate quietly. With critical election cycles ahead, NAPAC USA's 15th AGM is our national charge β a gathering of every state PAC leader, every candidate, and every engaged professional who understands what's at stake.
