About National Association of Chinese-Americans
The National Association of Chinese-Americans (NACA) Atlanta Chapter is a community-driven non-profit organization dedicated to advancing cordial relationships between the United States and China through meaningful local engagement. Established in Atlanta, GA in 1980 during Chinese Vice Premier Deng Xiaoping's state visit, the organization has spent decades building bridges between cultures and strengthening community connections. NACA's mission centers on three core pillars: bridging cultures through international delegations and exchanges, building the next generation of leaders through mentorship and guidance, and benefiting communities through impactful programs and partnerships. The Atlanta chapter brings together diverse stakeholders—from government officials to business leaders to everyday community members—to create opportunities for mutual understanding and collaboration. NACA strongly encourages Chinese-Americans to participate actively in the American political process while preserving and celebrating Chinese cultural heritage for future generations. The organization has demonstrated its commitment to the Atlanta community through scholarship programs, donations to local non-profits, and partnerships with schools and community colleges throughout Georgia. With the national headquarters in Washington, D.C. and ten local chapters across the United States, NACA Atlanta represents part of a larger movement toward fostering global understanding. The organization's legacy reflects a deep commitment to connecting people across borders, empowering young leaders, and creating positive community impact in the Atlanta area and beyond.
