Dear participants,
As the pandemic continues to unfold across the world, we recognize the responsibility to protect the health and safety of our community, including those who were planning to participate in the 2021 Welcoming Interactive.
Because of this, we have made the difficult decision to cancel the Interactive for 2021, which was scheduled to take place in-person in Charlotte, NC from April 21-22, and postpone until 2022.
However, we are still planning to host Interactive-related events in the coming year, which is why we want to hear from you! We invite you to share your thoughts, feedback, experiences and needs for effective events. Your responses are key to our final decision on what learning and networking will look like in 2021.
Please take some time to complete this survey by October 30. If you have any questions, contact events@welcomingamerica.org.
Join over 400 leaders from across the country who are building inclusive and prosperous communities by making everyone who lives there feel like they belong.
The Welcoming Interactive highlights successful practices and inspiring stories about immigrant inclusion, spanning the programs, policies, and partnerships in the Welcoming Standard and beyond, including economic development, connected communities, civic engagement, government leadership, and more.
