TAYP RETREAT 2020
UPDATED ON MARCH 9, 2020
In response to the rapidly evolving spread COVID-19, the TAYP Retreat 2020 was postponed to a later date. The TAYP Team will continue monitoring the situation as more information becomes available and will share updates on the new date as soon as possible.
As TAYP continues to grow, this second TAYP retreat will bring members and friends of the organization together in the Boston area in the spring of 2020. Members are invited from across the United States, Tunisia, and beyond, for a weekend-long gathering to learn about TAYP’s current initiatives, exchange with thought leaders and like-minded participants, and strengthen their professional network and community. The retreat will offer a rich program with guest speakers, discussions, as well as entertainment and fun activities, such as a Gala Dinner and a guided tour of Harvard University in nearby Cambridge, MA.
The retreat will take place on April 18 & 19, 2020, at the Salem Waterfront Hotel & Suites (a 30-minute drive from Boston). All TAYP members and their families are encouraged to participate. Childcare services will be offered. Click below to learn about the rates and register.
