Established in 2008, the Expatriate Foundation is the first of its kind to reach out to expatriates, scholar practitioners, human resource professionals, and internationally minded citizens and organizations who share a common bond; one in which education, learning, and the desire for success meet equally for the betterment of all.
An expatriate (in abbreviated form, expat) is a person temporarily or permanently residing in a country and culture other than that of the person's upbringing or legal residence.
Etymology: Medieval Latin expatriatus, past participle of expatriare to leave one's own country, from Latin ex- + patria native country, from feminine of patrius of a father, from patr-, pater father
