First Conference of Romanian American Professionals in Washington, DC

The First Conference of Romanian American Professionals in Washington, DC seeks to bring together established professionals within the diaspora, individuals interested in establishing a knowledge network of peers within several fields, as well as in nurturing mentor relationships that foster the true potential of the best and brightest members of the diaspora. The IRF seeks to serve as a platform shaping several consultation groups in the following fields:

- Medical research, medicine and public health;

- International development, finance and public policy;

- Engineering and IT;

- Legal counseling, litigation and civic engagement;

- Arts and culture.

The conference aims to be a steppingstone in establishing a wide base of stakeholders with expertise, a knowledge network that highlights and honors Romanian Americans’ contribution to American society. By bringing together thought leaders with varied expertise in the areas outlined, IRF intends to encourage the cross sharing of approaches, best practices and pertinent information. The ultimate goal of this professionals’ network is to assist the Romanian American diaspora in finding the information and support needed for successful integration, upward social mobility and positive influence within the American society at large.
