Summit is UVSA Gulf Coast's first regional leadership and professional development conference in which young leaders from across the Gulf Coast unite for three days and two nights, network with one another, learn more about Vietnamese culture, grow to become leaders within their local communities, and develop their professional skills to aid them in their career endeavors.

Attendees will be able to experience motivational speakers, engage in educational workshops, network and participate in unity activities with other young leaders from within the region, as well as those outside the region, and more.

The Union of Vietnamese Student Associations Gulf Coast (UVSA Gulf Coast) is proud to present the Third Leadership and Professional Development Summit at Loyola University in New Orleans, LA. UVSA Gulf Coast Leadership & Professional Development Summit is a gathering of young adults from the Vietnamese-American communities across Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama. The purpose of Summit is to assist these young leaders with the right tools to develop as leaders and professionals. Attendees will be able to experience motivational speakers, engage in educational workshops, network and participate in unity activities with other young leaders within and outside the Gulf Coast region, and more.

This year, UVSA-GC’s Summit theme is "Rekindle the Fire”. Our goal and theme is to rekindle the flame within us. We're dedicated to strengthening our connections, reviving our shared goals, and reenergizing the community. As we rebuild Summit to what it once was, we invite you to "Rekindle the Fire" that's in you, whether it be your passions, your culture, or anything else.
