This training reviews the array of programs and strategies that other communities have pioneered to help include immigrants in the local community and economic development efforts. Participants will learn how to connect immigrant inclusion to regional economic development efforts and consider what models could work best in their community.

This specialized program offers an overview of how migration and culture can be explored through the lens of personal narrative. Participants will hear from local storytellers, consider how migration and culture shape both personal identity and workplace communities, and learn storytelling tips that are applicable to work and personal goals.

The reception will include a presentation on MOIA's strategic plan by Director Yusufi Vali and a special announcement on the Greater Boston Immigrant Defense Fund by Mayor Walsh, along with an opportunity to network with a number of corporations, foundations and community groups committed to advancing our immigrant residents in Boston and beyond.
