Chemonics is pleased and proud to be a sponsor of National Black Professionals in International Affairs (BPIA) Week, as they celebrate 35 years of global impact! On Wednesday evening (September 4) a colleague of mine and I met many incredibly talented attendees at the virtual conference and career fair, whom we hope to see as applicants and welcome as colleagues in the not-too-distant future. This was just one among many exciting events we are looking forward to during the week of celebration. Chemonics will also attend the BPIA Gala and Afterparty, and Jazz Brunch the weekend of September 7/8. Here’s to 35 more years of engagement and affecting positive change. Cheers to BPIA! #NationalBPIAWeek #BPIA35!
