[OFFICIAL RECAP]
VNARP 10 Year Anniversary Awards & National Gala
Taste of Vietnam V: "Past, Present & Future"
Saturday, Nov. 15, 2025
Blackhawk Museum, Danville, Ca.

This year’s milestone gala was a night unlike any other — a profound celebration of VNARP’s 10-year journey. What began a decade ago with a small group of dedicated real estate professionals in Silicon Valley transformed into a unified vision: to elevate, empower, and connect the Vietnamese real estate community. That vision became VNARP. At our anniversary gala, we honored the trailblazing Founders whose courage and leadership ignited what is now a national movement.

We proudly celebrated our President’s Circle — past and present leaders whose unwavering commitment carried VNARP through seasons of growth, challenge, and triumph — and recognized our Emeritus honorees, whose continued influence guides and inspires the next generation of Vietnamese real estate professionals.

At its heart, the evening was a tribute to excellence — honoring Vietnamese Agents, Brokers, Teams, and Mortgage Originators whose achievements elevate our industry and illuminate the boundless possibilities ahead. We also introduced the Award for Excellence, celebrating Commercial Agents, nonprofit leaders, devoted chapter volunteers, our Person of the Year, and our Lifetime Achievement Award.

We honored the remarkable leadership of our National Chairwoman, Helen Duong, and proudly welcomed our new Chairman, Long H Doan, as she passed the torch. With renewed energy and united purpose, we enter this next chapter ready to soar to even greater heights.
Woven throughout the night was the soul of Taste of Vietnam — a celebration of three timeless pillars: food, fashion, and culture. Each gala, we strive to create an Oscar-worthy experience filled with beauty, purpose, and wonder. Through every dish, garment, performance, and visual story, we share pieces of our heritage, offering the world a glimpse into who we are and the history that shaped us.

This production truly took a village, and we are deeply grateful to everyone who made it possible. A heartfelt thank you to Minnie Uyen Thai of Flora Haven/United Wholesale Flowers, whose vision and artistry brought an unforgettable floral experience to life. To our entire production team, volunteers, models, members, sponsors, and partners — THANK YOU. Your dedication, presence, and support transformed this night into something extraordinary.
A portion of proceeds supports The Wheelchair Foundation and the San Jose Vietnamese Running Club (SJVRC) — extending mobility, hope, and opportunity to children and families across the world.

We honored our past.
We elevated our present.
We ignited the vision for our future.
