As the President of SAPA, I invite you to join us at our 7th Annual General Assembly happening in Houston, Texas. This gathering is the heartbeat of our community, where we gather to reflect, strategize and celebrate our accomplishments. This assembly serves as a bridge between generations, diaspora and homeland, as we renew our intention to serve Sudan.
This isn’t just a conference. It’s a return to your roots, a chance to stand shoulder to shoulder with Sudanese physicians, professionals, and families from across the U.S.
Guiding us are voices of wisdom and inspiration. Our speakers will not only inform but ignite pride and purpose, reminding us of our resilience and the future we’re building together. During our Gala, we will celebrate culture and heritage in true Sudanese spirit.
This is a gathering for everyone, with family-friendly spaces, childcare, and a welcoming atmosphere. Because our story is about legacy, one we continue to build, together.
The Ali Fadul Memorial Award is SAPA’s highest honor, named for Dr. Ali Fadul, a physician and humanitarian who died defending justice in 1990.
Awarded annually, it recognizes individuals who advance health, human rights, and social justice while exemplifying resilience and service to the Sudanese people.
