Zoroastrian Youth of North America (ZYNA) are happy to announce
Young Professionals Norouz Retreat
March 1- March 3, 2013, New York City
Zoroastrian Youth of North America (ZYNA) will be kicking off the NEW YEAR 2013! Join us, in the BIG APPLE, for a celebration filled with festivities, friendship and fellowship.
This will be a networking social retreat geared towards established professionals (ages 25-45) who want to network. The new generation of Zoroastrians will be able to strengthen friendships and connect with like-minded professionals that live and work by the core beliefs of our religion.
Mingle and surround yourself with energetic, ambitious people who are contributing to society through their professional endeavors. ZYNA is on a mission to give professionals the opportunity to connect, share ideas, resources, thoughts, and opportunities. Our vision is to cultivate a professional community of young Zoroastrians that is focused on building relationships and working together to learn, grow and make a difference in the world we live in.
Professionals from North America, and possibly even abroad, will come together to connect. Regardless of your professional ties, you will be surrounded by like-minded people who do not just want to fit into this world, but shape what it can be.
ZYNA is committed to establishing FEZANA’s legacy by preservation through generations!
