Open Up: Building Stronger Ties

One of the challenges of our world today, including the Iranian community worldwide, is the need for meaningful relationships and healthy communities.

Our January webinar will feature an Iranian-American serial entrepreneur whose latest startup addresses this very challenge by using an innovative approach to team building for remote teams in the post-pandemic ecosphere.
