National-Scale Gathering Moves to Dec. 12–13
September 5–6 Continues — Smaller, More Personal & Collaborative
As we approached Labor Day Weekend, we realized we had not yet reached the national participation needed to create the quality experience our participants, speakers, collaborators and supporters deserve.
Rather than rush to fill seats, we are giving the full national-scale gathering more time to grow for December 12–13.
September 5–6 Is Still Happening
We are bringing together those who want to continue the journey for a FREE, retreat-style Leadership Convergence Weekend in Philadelphia and online.
The Future Builder conversations continue—but in a smaller setting where you can meet the people involved, exchange experiences, learn from one another, build relationships, and contribute ideas for December and beyond.
We created DOI250AA to empower people—to help Asian Americans strengthen our sense of belonging, grow personally and professionally, build connections, contribute with confidence, and recognize ourselves as stakeholders in the society we all share.
If You Care About This Purpose, Join Us.
Whether you originally registered for Future Builders, the Gala, public celebration, group photo, or another part of the weekend, we invite you to come closer to the mission.
Join the conversation. Meet the people involved. Bring your perspective and connections. And if you want to do more, become one of the collaborators helping us build a stronger December gathering—and what comes beyond it.
Email support@doi250aa.net to join us in Philadelphia or online.
