AUNA Bi-Annual Convention Unites Awo-Omamma Community Across the U.S., Set to Gather Next in New Jersey, August 2025
Awo-Omamma United, North America (AUNA), has long fostered a strong sense of unity and purpose among Awo-Omamma sons, daughters, and their families living in the United States. AUNA’s bi-annual convention, a cornerstone of the organization’s efforts, brings together its members from across various U.S. regions to reconnect, share updates, and advance the mission of supporting the Awo-Omamma community back home in Nigeria. This event, which rotates between local chapters, serves as a vibrant gathering that strengthens the bonds of kinship and commitment within the diaspora.
The most recent convention, hosted by AUNA’s DMV chapter—which represents members in Washington D.C., Maryland, and Virginia—was held in Maryland in July 2023. The event saw an impressive turnout of Awo-Omamma families and friends, who traveled from far and near to participate. Attendees enjoyed a range of activities designed to celebrate their shared heritage, discuss community development initiatives, and raise funds for AUNA’s welfare projects in Nigeria. The DMV chapter delivered a memorable experience, showcasing the hospitality and cultural pride of the Awo-Omamma community.
Looking ahead, the next AUNA convention will be hosted by the New Jersey chapter on the first weekend of August 2025. This upcoming event promises to be another remarkable gathering, with attendees from various states, friends, and local well-wishers expected to join. AUNA conventions are known for creating a welcoming atmosphere, encouraging networking, and providing an open platform to discuss challenges and solutions facing the Awo-Omamma community both in the U.S. and back in Nigeria.
Through these conventions, AUNA strengthens its mission, boosts member engagement, and provides essential support to their community at home. These gatherings reinforce AUNA’s dedication to preserving cultural ties, ensuring that each new generation remains connected, engaged, and ready to contribute to the welfare of Awo-Omamma citizens. The 2025 convention in New Jersey is anticipated with excitement, promising both celebration and continued commitment to the goals that unite the Awo-Omamma diaspora.
