							The New Zealand American Association (Inc.) is a non-profit organisation that promotes mutual understanding and goodwill between the United States and New Zealand.<br /><br />
							We organise celebrations of significant American anniversaries and holidays, such as the 4th of July, Memorial Day, and Thanksgiving; help folks enjoy their U.S. traditions; and also provide an opportunity for New Zealanders to learn about, and participate in, a little American culture.<br /><br />
							Through a variety of events, activities, and scholarships, we work to foster a better understanding of the American way of life by New Zealanders, and at the same time a better understanding of the New Zealand way of life by visiting Americans.<br /><br />
							We cooperate with various organisations to arrange exchange visits between the two countries, and to encourage cooperation and a free exchange of ideas in science, education, commerce, and the arts.<br /><br />
							But above all the NZAA is a friendship network and hospitality association.  We welcome American visitors, and offer them a little 'slice of home' right here in New Zealand.<br /><br />
							Our heart and strength are our members who help guide NZAA projects, recommend new events and activities, and help us develop the most useful links to share with others.<br /><br />
							<span class="nt"><em>If you would be interested in joining the NZAA please see our <a href="nzaa_membership.html"><span>membership information</span></a>.</em><br /><br />
