NWES2023 ReConnect Nonprofit Partner: The SEARCH Foundation

We also want to give a special mention to Nems Scarim for highlighting our NWES2023 ReConnect Nonprofit Partner, the SEARCH Foundation.

The SEARCH Foundation, as a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, provides crucial financial support to individuals in the special events, meetings, and catering industry who are facing life-threatening illnesses or catastrophic occurrences.

We encourage you to consider supporting this worthy cause.

And that’s a wrap! Once again, we extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who made this event such a huge success. We can’t wait to see you all at our future events. Stay tuned for more updates!
