IINE Golden Door Award Gala

In celebration of its longstanding commitment to welcoming and supporting immigrant communities across New England, the International Institute of New England (IINE) proudly presents the 44th Golden Door Award Gala, an annual event recognizing the profound contributions immigrants make to American society and&nbsp;highlighting&nbsp;our region’s shared commitment to belonging and opportunity.&nbsp; For more than 50 years, IINE has presented the Golden Door Award to an individual born outside of the United States who has made outstanding contributions to American society.
