History
Your Filipino Professionals Association (YFPA, formerly Young Filipino Professionals Association) launched in May 2002 as a collaborative forum for Filipino-American professionals to connect and collaborate. It was started by three classmates from the University of San Francisco: Neil Baquiran, Greg Montemayor, and Roselle Rapadas. The three recognized a need in the San Francisco Bay Area for a Fil-Am professional group that would create and support professional networking, educational and community service activities.
The purpose was to build a stronger, well-established and respected Fil-Am business community. This purpose translated in to the YFPA’s long-lasting mantra: "Connect. Educate. Serve" With that in mind, the initial twelve board members, built the operational, legal, and strategic infrastructure of YFPA through a variety of road mapping, discovery and implementation sessions.
