Nadia Mavrakis, CEO of Culturingua, a nonprofit based in the area that helps low-to-moderate income families and individuals from the Middle East, North Africa and South Asia, said the cultural designation is the first step in transforming and improving the area.

They can make work more meaningful, interesting, and productive, and they’re crucial for true organizational transformation.
