Purpose
- The purpose of the Cary Summit on Citizen Diplomacy is to bring together representatives from key organizations and businesses in the Cary & Research Triangle area involved in international education, business and/or cultural programs to learn how international relationships at the grassroots level impact U.S. foreign relations; to discuss ways these local organizations may better serve international visitors and the community as a whole and to improve communication among these diverse groups.
Goal
- The goal of the Cary Summit on Citizen Diplomacy is to form an ongoing Triangle wide citizen diplomacy taskforce which will continue to work to implement the recommendations identified in the present Cary Summit as well as any recommendations identified in previous events and efforts. This group will also be tasked with identifying public and private funding sources to implement recommendations and further promote citizen diplomacy in the Cary & Research Triangle area.
Nationwide Effort
- The Cary Summit on Citizen Diplomacy is part of a larger, nationwide campaign to increase Americas participation in citizen diplomacy. The overarching goal of these summits is to help raise public awareness about the potential of local citizen diplomacy and serve to identify and expand resources and partnerships in the area.
This Cary Summit on Citizen Diplomacy is an initiative of Sister Cities Association of Cary, Inc. and the Town of Cary.
