Key takeaways & next steps:

Nazanin Ash, the CEO of Welcome.US, received the 2023 Concordia Leadership Award in recognition of her outstanding efforts in confronting the worldwide displacement crisis and revolutionizing the process of resettling refugees.
Welcome.US showcases the importance of involving diverse partners from the private and civic sectors to support incoming refugees. Community sponsorship programs rapidly expanded refugee reception capacity, with Americans sponsoring more refugees in 18 months than the U.S. government has in two decades. This initiative is spreading nationally, demonstrating a collective duty to offer opportunities to displaced individuals, irrespective of nationality.

The global displacement crisis is an urgent matter, and the endeavors of Welcome.US stand as a promising solution and a testament to the strength of collaboration and compassion when addressing this complex issue.
