We are interested in getting to know people from different cultures and we like to help newcomers settle in and break down the cultural barriers. This group provides a forum for members to connect with and lend support to one another, as well as continue to develop professional skills through presentations and volunteer work, practice English in a safe space, and explore our new community together. This is a diverse community of dynamic women focused on welcoming, integrating, supporting, educating and empowering our international network of like-minded women.
