Welcoming Week NWA is an annual event that brings together NWA Leadership Pledge supporters and the broader community to build strong connections and affirm the importance of welcoming and inclusive places in achieving collective prosperity. While the event is only a week long, the goals are long-term. Welcoming Week NWA serves as an impetus to drive action all year long.
For Welcoming Week this year, the theme is #WhereWeBelong. Each and every one of us has the power to make sure everyone feels seen, embraced, welcomed and included in our communities. By focusing on the places and spaces that foster belonging (ie. cities, workplaces, neighborhoods, etc.), “Where We Belong” aims to spark individual reflection on how and why belonging occurs, and ways we can break barriers so that places can foster belonging for all.
