We are excited to announce the return of UNGA79th, a SAiD INSTITUTE signature event taking place in New York City! UNGA is an annual United Nations General Assembly-Associated event that SAiD INSTITUTE hosts in collaboration with Philo Black and Laddering Your Success. This event fosters new connections, job creation, youth leadership and Pan-African unity. Each year, the SAiD African Exchange community convenes at our Annual Gathering which attracts hundreds of leaders from 30-40 countries – a large majority of whom are Young professionals, Managing Directors, entrepreneurs, leaders from government, NGOs, the arts, and civil society – who believe that intergroup, decisive leadership is the most powerful lever for transforming Africa. Through our Semi-Annual Gathering, we create a space to engage in rich dialogue and action towards our mission of developing one million transformational leaders for Africa by 2050. Our attendees have opportunities to reflect deeply on the role that they can play as agents of change and progress in their respective sectors. We prefer to think of our Annual Gathering as a leadership retreat that renews and inspires our community of some of the most influential leaders on the continent.
Join us today at 7 pm for the UNGA Reception. This year’s theme is: When We See Each Other – Retelling the same story that promotes cultural awareness and connections.
