We are pleased to announce that registration for the 2010 U.S. Summit for Global Citizen Diplomacy to be held in Washington DC on November 16-19 is now open to everyone! Register today.
We expect this event to be well attended so we encourage you to register today and join us to be a part of the most comprehensive conference ever convened to demonstrate the value and impact of U.S. citizen engagement in international affairs.
The Summit is being convened by the USCCD in partnership with theU.S. Department of State, Office of Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs, and is supported by major sponsors Verizon, Coca-Cola, TownsendVision, among others.
Ultimately, the event will contribute directly to our goal of doubling the number of citizen diplomats in the next ten years by serving as a launching point for the "Decade of the Citizen Diplomat."
