The most famous Chinese American organization in the greater Washington DC area, the Union of Chinese American Professional Organizations (UCAPO), is going to host the fourth Annual UCAPO Day picnic which has been scheduled on Sunday, August 26, 2012. Now all the preparatory work is well underway in. This will be the first public event organized by UCAPO after new Board and executive teams were elected last May. On August 26, Chinese American professionals in greater Washington area across the fields of computer sciences, network technology, biopharmaceuticals, medical and health, financial management, business, news media and art performances will get together at Shelters A, B, C, the Black Hill Regional Park, MD. This event aims enhancing friendship and promoting information exchanges between Chinese American professionals. It will also provide a high quality professional consulting services opportunity for local communities. Here, UCAPO’s new leadership is sincerely inviting all sectors of Chinese American professionals, Chinese students from local colleges/universities, and our American friends to join us with your family and friends on August 26.

UCAPO is an integrated consortium that consists of both Chinese and American professionals, representing nearly 50,000 outstanding Chinese professionals and elites in this area. The annual UCAPO Day event was appreciated by Chinese American professionals during the past years.
