EPAN
Ethiopian Professionals Association Network (EPAN) is a
unique nonprofit and nonpolitical organization founded in Kansas City Missouri
by Ethiopian Engineering Students and company recruits who attended the National
Society of Black Engineers 25th annual convention. The idea of creating EPAN was
originally discussed at the "Blue Nile Café" in Kansas City, MO.
within a small group on March 25th, 1999 which the next day drew a lot of
support at "Martha Café" in Kansas. At the get together it was
noticed that the lack of communication and information sharing among Ethiopians
was something most of Ethiopians have always found lacking. It was concluded
that Ethiopians need to work a little harder at coming together and sharing
information to pull each other. There fore Ethiopian Professionals Association
Network was born.
Mission

with information so they achieve competitive advantage in the professional
