You're invited to our first WIN General Membership Meeting of the New Year!

We're excited to welcome Karima and Rand, founders of Relume, who will share the inspiring story behind their organization. Relume is built on the belief that no refugee should be overlooked and works to create meaningful career and leadership pathways that honor resilience, restore dignity, and relight hope. Learn more about Relume and their mission.

We'll also hear from Jean Paul (Office of Equity) and Nadia Damchii (DSHS), who will present updates on the "Improving Immigrant State Employee Experience in Washington" survey. Attendees will be invited to share feedback and help shape future efforts.

Whether you're considering your own next steps or simply want to better understand what others face, this session offers insight, connection, and community perspective.
