Welcome to Our Interactive Platforms!
At the Gaza Palestinian American Association (GPAA), we are committed to fostering a vibrant and supportive community. Our WhatsApp groups are crafted to enhance communication among members, facilitate meaningful discussions, and strengthen our community bonds.
Explore Our Chat Rooms
Each of our WhatsApp groups serves a unique purpose, catering to the diverse interests and needs of our members:
- GPAA Members Forum: Focuses on association-related topics, allowing members and board members alike to share insights, exchange feedback, and engage in discussions that drive our mission forward.
- GPAA Cafe: Offers a casual atmosphere where members can relax and chat about a wide range of topics beyond association activities. It’s the perfect place to share a hobby, discuss a book, or just catch up with fellow members.
- GPAA Board & Committees: Designed exclusively for board and committee members, these groups facilitate targeted communications related to specific organizational roles and responsibilities.
Community Guidelines
To ensure a positive and productive environment, we adhere to the following guidelines in all our chat rooms:
