Founded in 1986, the Network of Iranian-American Professionals of Orange County (NIPOC) is a non-political, and non-profit 501 (c)(3) educational organization. It is composed of professionals, business and community activists, students, volunteers, and leaders who live and work in Southern California. NIPOC is dedicated to promote the networking among Iranian-Americans so that we become a more cohesive and civically active community.
Our goal is to educate the public on rich Persian cultural heritage and promote the achievements and contributions of the Iranian-American community. We do this through public events, cultural activities, lectures, seminars, workshops, awards and scholarships to young people and volunteers. NIPOC offers a unique opportunity for professional men and women to network and exchange ideas with peers and business associates in a safe environment. Our hope is to build bridges of friendships with other diverse communities.
