FIND, Inc. Successfully Hosts The 26th Fall Dialogue at The College of New Jersey in District V!
JACKSONVILLE, FL (December 18, 2019) --
On Saturday, November 23, 2019, FIND, Inc. hosted more than 400+ students at The College of New Jersey (TCNJ) for the 26th Annual Fall Dialogue. This year’s theme was “Barangay: Fostering Community” and was carried out by a joint collaboration between District 4 & District 5.
Barangay is the Filipino term for “neighborhood.” This year, delegates were asked to focus on their community and to understand how the people and places that surround them are crucial in contributing to one’s development, one’s self, and moreover, one’s survival. The individuals that make up a community are just as important as the community as a whole is to each individual.
Delegates were challenged to be mindful of who or what they consider their communities to be, what connects these communities together, and the overall importance of the community that we surround ourselves with.
FIND, Inc. would like to extend its gratitude to the following:
The 2019 District IV Planning Board and its Tri-Chairs for carrying out this event from start to finish.
The executive board of TCNJ’s BARKADA for working quickly to secure the venue and ultimately provide a space for our event to take place.
The National Board for its oversight and guidance.
The volunteers who helped ensure operations were smooth and enjoyable.
Our sponsor, The Filipino Channel (TFC) & Kollective Hustle.
Our members and delegates who participated in making this event memorable, and transformational.
