 The Association

founding members were Nick Dadia, Conrad Cruz, Rey Padilla and Tom
Jimenez. In the same year the AFAA joined the National Council of
Philippine American Canadian Accountants (NCPACA). The organization
became the leading professional organization in the Asian American
community. Most of the members are successful practitioners and/or
hold prestigious positions in industry and government enterprises.
The past presidents of AFAA were Nick Dadia, Rey Padilla, and Lolit
Gilberg. Each of them held office in the early formation of the
organization until it attained stability. They were also involved
actively in the NCPACA. Rey Padilla is currently the President of the
NCPACA.
The Current President of AFAA is Nora Galleros, the first Woman
partner of Watson & Rice. The New Jersey chapter was created
and spun off
the NY chapter on August 2001.
