ELAN x QDF x QWF Solstice Schmoozer

Calling all community members! QWF is excited to invite you to our first “Sister Orgs Schmoozer” in over a year! We’ll be gathering together with ELAN, QDF, and QWF members to make connections, learn about each other’s work, and, most importantly, schmooze! Hosted by Teesri Duniya, we’re thrilled to gather in person to wrap up the year together. Everyone welcome, and we hope to see you there!
