Board of Director ​

Nha Thai Thao, at the age of 16 years old, with not even a dollar to his name, sought refuge to San Francisco, CA in 1980 after escaping Laos where the Hmong participated in the Secret War, aiding the United States during the Vietnam War. He married his wife, Youa Lee, in 1982 Richmond, CA and both raised six beautiful children together.

Nha Thai moved to Sacramento in 1996 and began his real estate management and investment career, buying and managing property in the city of Marysville and Sacramento and renting to low income families. He was appointed by the City of Sacramento to serve two terms on the Del Paso Heights Redevelopment Advisory Committee on Seat C. He revived and served as President of Hmong Youth and Parent's United and founded the Hmong Enrichment Summer Program. He also co-founded the Hmong Organizing for Progress and Empowerment Center (H.O.P.E Center) allowing for exchange of arts, culture, history, knowledge, and opportunities for Hmong here and abroad.
