<article class="content"> <p>For the first time, the Hello Neighbor Network is making its national convening virtual. The Pittsburgh-based program, powered by Hello Neighbor, is a coalition of grassroots nonprofits working with refugees and immigrants across the U.S.</p> <p>The Hello Neighbor Network Convening is an opportunity for leaders and aspiring leaders in the space to connect, support and learn from one another, and walk away feeling reinvigorated to continue their important work in communities across the U.S. It’s a chance to learn from the work of others, ask questions, engage in dialogue, and celebrate together in time we often feel far apart.</p> <p>This isn’t your typical day on Zoom. The virtual convening is a three day event of learning, inspiration, and growth (register here).</p> <p><strong style="color:#ff6c36;">REFOCUS:</strong> <strong>On April 13th</strong>, Hello Neighbor Network members will gather for a <strong>members-only</strong> conversation, intention setting, and alignment.</p> <p><strong style="color:#6ec829;">REIMAGINE:</strong> <strong>On April 14th</strong>, all are invited to attend a <strong>free and open</strong> day of the convening to learn together and reimagine what communities of belonging could look like in the U.S.</p> <p><strong style="color:#57c9e8;">RECHARGE:</strong> <strong>On April 15th</strong>, Network members and key stakeholders will be in on critical conversations about refugee resettlement, innovation, and nonprofit success for the final <strong>invite-only</strong> day.</p> <div class="top-padding-small-medium"></div> <p><a class="button extra-border" href="https://www.neighbornetwork.io/2021-convening">REGISTER TODAY!</a></p> <div class="top-padding-medium"></div> <hr> <h2>Featured Speakers &amp; Musical Guests</h2> <p>The lineup includes business strategists, bestselling authors, entrepreneurs, musicians, creatives, and public servants.
