BACKGROUND:
There are several Pakistani-American organizations across the United States that are doing a good job in their own way and in their areas of action. But, most of these organizations are committed to Pakistan's domestic politics while neglecting pertinent issues of the Pakistani-American community in the United States. NCPA aims to bring a paradigm shift in our attitude by dedicating our energy toward the all development of the community. The Pakistani-American community is a vibrant ethnic group-about 1,000,000 in numbers--with a variety of issues of its own.
VISION:
The vision of the NCPA is to develop an organization in the nation's capital that serves Pakistani- Americans and other common Pakistani organizations by sharing resources for public education and media relations.
MISSION STATEMENT:
The National Council of Pakistani Americans (NCPA) is incorporated in the District of Columbia as a nonprofit corporation with express purpose to "provide a national structure within which Pakistani Americans may express and act upon their shared concerns, promote, encourage and foster better understanding, in the United States, of political, economic, and cultural interests of the community, and encourage and foster the common good and general welfare of the people of the United States."
GOALS:
1. To educate and encourage Pakistani-Americans to partake in the American political process.
2. To enhance and progress the empowerment of Pakistani-Americans at all levels of American society.
3. To present true Pakistani traditions, values, history and culture to America and the West.
4. To improve the image of Pakistan and Pakistani-Americans by working with the media, think tanks, NGO organizations, and universities.
5. To strive with fellow Americans to eliminate in American society any vestiges of discrimination or intolerance on the basis of race, sex, religion, and ethnicity.
