A practical starting point for finding, sharing and using community gatherings to build stronger relationships across the diaspora.
Events & Community
Community events create opportunities to meet people beyond social media, support organizations, reconnect with culture and discover new professional or family connections.
Look for events with a clear purpose
Professional associations, alumni groups, cultural organizations, churches, county associations and family networks can each serve different needs.
Use events to build relationships, not only collect contacts
Follow up with a small number of meaningful connections rather than trying to meet everyone in the room.
Share useful events with the community
