TAYP RETREAT 2023
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 2023. Members are invited from across the United States, Tunisia, and beyond, for a weekend-long gathering to hear about inspiring success stories within our community, take stock on the opportunities that the organization provides, 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, musical performances and activities by the beach in the wonderful venue we selected.
The retreat will take place on May 13-14, 2023, at the Wylie Center & Tupper Manor (a 30-minute drive from Boston). All TAYP members and their families are encouraged to participate. Click below to learn about the rates and register.
