at Saint Louis University
On April 12, 2024, the Midwest Filipinx American Summit (MFAS) was held at Saint Louis University, co-hosted by the Midwest Association of Filipino Americans (MAFA) and the Filipino Student Association at Saint Louis University (SLU FSA).
This conference brought in over 300 student delegates from 30+ collegiate Philippine organizations across the Midwest and brought in 30+ workshop facilitators and 40+ small businesses. We were honored to host our Keynote Speaker, Joshua Chan, as well as our Headliner, Michael Cali. Finally, we were honored to host Filexcellence as our primary philanthropic partner for MFAS 2024.
This conference would not have been possible without the collaboration and hard work of the 2023-2024 MFAS Planning Committee, comprised of members of the MAFA Board and SLU FSA Executive Board of that year.
