What is HMAAS?

The Hmong Mutual Assistance Association of Sheboygan, Inc.
(HMAAS) is a non-profit organization founded in 1980 by the Hmong
community of  Sheboygan.  The purpose of the association is to       
promote a spirit of loving friendship, cooperation, and             
benevolence among the Hmong community of Sheboygan; to serve
the economic, social, and cultural needs of the Hmong people; to
hold meetings and gatherings for the better realization of such
purposes; and to promote increased understanding, opportunity
and sharing of resources in the greater Sheboygan area.

HMAAS’ primary mission is to assist the Southeastern Asian
refugees in their resettlement process in Sheboygan County and to
promote opportunities that will enable refugee families to become
self-sufficient.  In 1982, HMAAS was the first refugee organization
to   receive federal funding through the State of Wisconsin Refugee
Assistance Office to provide basic supportive services to refugee
families such as housing assistance, employment, health,
interpretation and translation,    short-term counseling, and
information and referral.  HMAAS is known as a leading agency in
providing    services to the refugee community and has received
many recognition awards from state and federal agencies for its
strong performances.  

HMAAS has been a model for many Hmong MAAs across the State
of Wisconsin since its existing in 1980.  HMAAS is proud of its
leadership in constantly advocating and promoting self-sufficiency
and quality of life for all regufees; particularly, the Hmong
communities. HMAAS feel blessed with good leaders and will
continue to build and prepare future leaders to maintain its
traditions of caring and serving the needs of the community.

Currently, HMAAS is governed by 13 volunteer Board of Directors
who are elected annually by HMAAS membership:  9 Hmong and 4
community-at-large members.  Each Board member is elected to
serve a 2-year term. HMAAS Board of Directors were recently
reduced from 15 to 13 members as April 2007 to increase its
leadersip effectiveness.
