The award acknowledges the achievements of key individuals, including up-and-coming members of the South Asian community and those from the American community in a number of key areas including political achievement, business / professional achievement, achievement in the media, the legal field and so on.

We expect some of the best-known names in the mainstream South Asian and American professional communities to be in attendance. The conference will be host to a number of prestigious speakers this year starting with our keynote speaker.

We cordially invite you and the members of your organization to submit nominations for the 2007 S.A.S.A. Awards.
