Did IMAPP help you to grow professionally/personally?

IMAPP gave me the opportunity to live in a foreign country while always having the support of peers in a similar situation. Speaking English and connecting with people from different backgrounds quickly became second nature. Not everything went smoothly, but I now have the confidence to go anywhere, anytime.
