This is Filament’s first partnership with the New Americans Task Force (NATF), an organization dedicated to promoting the integration and well-being of immigrants and refugees in Lincoln. Through advocacy, education, and community engagement, NATF has been instrumental in fostering a welcoming environment that recognizes the unique contributions of New Americans. Lincoln’s Welcoming Week, orchestrated by NATF, stands as a testament to its commitment, showcasing the cultural diversity that thrives within the city’s borders.
“We’re grateful for Filament’s partnership for Welcoming Week 2023. We appreciate their expertise in nonprofit communications,” Lisa Guill, Cultural Centers of Lincoln and New Americans Task Force said. “We look forward to capturing on video the joy and excitement that Welcoming Week brings to Lincoln!”
