We've had a stellar time attending the Global Ties U.S. national meeting in #WashingtonDC this week. We began by spending a day of advocacy on the hill to ensure that international exchange and diplomacy stays the way of the present and future. We are grateful for the support.

Our very own Exec. Director Toni Carr speaking as the Chair of the Global Ties National Conference. It’s great to be back in D.C. for the occasion!

Such heartfelt remarks at the Global Ties U.S. 2022 National Meeting Opening Plenary! To Katherine A. Brown, the Global Ties U.S. Team, IVLP, and the entire Network: Thank you for all that you do and for moving exchange forward. #GlobalTies2022 #ExchangeForward

The partnerships with the Institute of Peace are going great and I’m so glad to be doing this work. We’ll be doing some programming on religion & peacebuilding + atrocity prevention (Uighurs in China) in the coming months.

Please, after all this, don’t nobody come and tell me I’m too cynical.
My cynicism is perfectly measured.

UPDATE: Due to unforeseen circumstances, we are postponing our event until later this month. We will keep you posted.

Happy to be on a panel with Black Professionals in International Affairs-BPIA and U.S. Institute of Peace on Diversity and Peacebuilding. A great way to start a Monday!

Excited to be back for this conversation with atrocity prevention expert Lauren Baillie for a conversation on the Uyghur Crisis. This talk comes from a partnership between Global Ties Arkansas and @usip. I hope you'll join!

We are super excited to be working with Congressional Office for International Leadership to bring diplomacy back to the state of Arkansas once again. We’ll be hosting an exchange on anti-corruption. More good news to come later!
