Lorraine Rytz is a community organizer with two decades of active advocacy for expat engagement. Arriving in Basel in 1994, she embraced volunteering as a way to connect with and learn about her new home. She has enjoyed leadership positions with various community organizations, most recently as former Chair of Centrepoint, the international community centre for Basel. Through participation at conferences and workshops directed at the 'expat' community, Lorraine has subsequently been invited to sit on advisory and working committees convened by Basel-Stadt and local philanthropic foundations. Drawing from personal experience, Lorraine not only motivates other expats to volunteer, but actively seeks new opportunities for their contributions.

Lorraine Rytz beschreibt sich selbst als Sozialarbeiterin mit zwei Jahrzehnte langer aktiver Erfahrung für Expat Engagement. Als sie im Jahr 1994 in Basel ankam, nutzte sie die Freiwilligenarbeit als eine Möglichkeit, ihr neues Zuhause kennenzulernen und Kontakte zu knüpfen. Seither hat sie sich bei verschiedenen gemeinnützigen Organisationen in Führungspositionen betätigt, zuletzt als Leiterin von Centrepoint, dem internationalen Gemeinschafts-Zentrum in Basel. Aufgrund ihres Einsatzes an Konferenzen und Workshops für die "Expat"-Gemeinschaft, wurde Lorraine eingeladen, verschiedenen Beratungs- und Arbeitskomitees der Stadt Basel und lokaler gemeinnütziger Stiftungen beizuwohnen. Lorraine motiviert nicht nur andere Expats zur Freiwilligenarbeit, sondern bemüht sich auch aktiv neue Gelegenheiten für deren Beiträge zu schaffen.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
