Leadership development is a core pillar of HND’s mission and vision, and we actively seek to foster the next generation of Hmong American leaders through key initiatives such as the Hmong National Development Conference, Regional Community Conversations, and the Leadership Symposium. These programs provide platforms for emerging and seasoned leaders to address the unique challenges they face, including generational divides, economic disparities, and differing political perspectives within the community.
- Hmong National Development Conference (HNDC) brings together leaders from across the nation, creating opportunities for collaboration and growth.
- Regional Community Conversations focus on localized issues, allowing Hmong leaders to engage with their communities on a more intimate level.
- Leadership Symposiums offers targeted leadership training and mentorship, helping both youth and elders bridge generational and cultural gaps, while enhancing their leadership skills through education, advocacy, and youth development initiatives.
Through these programs, HND strengthens its commitment to nurturing strong, adaptable leaders capable of guiding the Hmong community towards a prosperous future.
