East India Alumni Connect: The Public Affairs Section of the U.S. Consulate General in Kolkata (PAS Kolkata) seeks proposals for a project titled “East India Alumni Connect.” Under this project the grantee will partner with PAS Kolkata to organize and implement a one-and-half-day conference for 50 U.S. Department of State exchange alumni. The conference will focus on strengthening of the alumni community in East India, and contribute to the professional and personal development of the participants. Breakout sessions will focus on thematic topics that support U.S. foreign policy priorities, including, but not limited to, entrepreneurship and innovation, gender, inclusion, and regional connectivity. The conference will also include a session on applying for, and managing a State Department grant, and a brainstorming session where alumni can develop projects that promote shared interests, benefit local communities, and enhance U.S.-India relations.
