Local Ties, Global Reach | A Connext Event

Despite being "landlocked", the Kansas City region has a rich patchwork of organizations with global reach.

Join us for a panel discussion with Kansas City's international nonprofits. We'll hear from social impact professionals stewarding international partnerships and serving beneficiaries abroad. Our panel will focus on the general landscape, as well as career pathways and skills that young and emerging professionals can leverage to potentially engage in various internationally-aligned capacities.

Format

This is a hybrid event; both fully-virtual and in-person options are available. During registration, select whether you would like to attend virtually or in-person. Attending in-person includes the panel as well as the pre- and post-event networking and refreshments. Space is limited for the in-person event. Attending virtually includes the panel only from 4pm to 5pm. This event will be hosted at Junior Achievement of Greater Kansas City.

Speakers

Katherine Holland - Executive Director, KC2026
Heather Lee - Program Grants & Donor Relations Director, Heart to Heart International
Melissa Miller - Director, World Trade Center Kansas City
Niyati Sethi - Program Associate, Global Ties KC

Additional panelists will be announced closer to the event date.
