Panel, Q&A session + Networking Hour
Join us on June 13 at WeWork to learn more about the ongoing work of some of our past MINN Fellows! MINN Fellows are dedicated to international development and doing global good better. We are excited to hear about Fellows' work prior to and since last year's Summit, and their takes on recent trends and changes in international development as we gather as a community at WeWork on this special occasion.
The panel and Q&A session will be followed by a social networking hour. Refreshments will be served.
Interested in working in international development? Development is a broad sector encompassing a huge range of organizations and roles.
