NWFASA
Formerly known as the Washington State Filipino American Student Alliance, "the Alliance" was established in 1995 by Filipino student organizations from Washington universities. The Alliance has grown to 14 member organizations from different campuses in Washington and Oregon. And on 2003 "the Alliance" has been renamed to be called Northwest Filipino American Student Alliance (NWFASA).
