Event Details

Join us for our March meeting. Our Grant Cycle kicked off last month and we now have four Inquiry Teams: Agriculture, Entrepreneurship & Workforce Development, Health, and Strengthening Communities & Technology

At this meeting, teams will present their research to date, and announce the top 7 to 10 organizations under consideration. Together, members will narrow the focus areas even more, and set up a plan of action for site visits and further due diligence. Meeting participants will also have a chance to provide feedback and additional ideas through a quick survey.

Also, as we continue to strengthen our commitment to international impact, we'll hear from featured guest speaker Peter Francis Luswata, who will provide insights into the challenges and opportunities for support in rural African communities.
