“What makes this year’s Mehregan unique is our purposeful shift to integrate culture with sustainable action,” said Shani Moslehi, CEO of OCIACC. “We are celebrating the abundance of our heritage while cultivating meaningful conversations about business resilience and responsibility for the environment.
