2023-08-30 MCHF Team and Speaker Meeting

This year’s Marshallese Cultural Health Forum (MCHF) is just around the corner, and we couldn’t be more excited about the experience we have in store for everyone. Prior to the festival, Living Islands had the honor of hosting all the festival speakers and our team members at our office for a meet-and-greet event. This gathering provided an invaluable opportunity to align our messaging and ensure that the event’s central themes resonate with everyone who attends.

The primary goal of this gathering was to cultivate a unified voice for the forum. By discussing the themes and messages we aim to share, we’re able to ensure that each speaker can contribute in a way that highlights their unique perspectives while aligning with our shared goals for the community. This coherence is crucial in delivering a meaningful experience to our audience, who are dedicating their time to engage with the festival’s offerings and support our collective efforts.

Beyond messaging, the meet-and-greet was a chance to build lasting networks among the speakers and our team. Each speaker brings a wealth of knowledge, passion, and lived experience that enriches our community. By connecting these speakers ahead of time, we’re creating a supportive environment that strengthens the bonds within our Micronesian community and beyond. Many of these speakers come from various backgrounds and expertise, and we aim to foster collaboration that will continue to uplift the community well beyond the festival itself.

With a cohesive message and a community-centered approach, we’re excited to welcome you to this year’s Marshallese Cultural Health Forum. Thank you for supporting us, and we look forward to celebrating together!
