Description

Join us at MERGE Iowa City to celebrate our new member - Global Ties Iowa.

Global Ties Iowa was founded in the mid 1980s as a community organization dedicated to international exchange. As a member of Global Ties U.S. since 1986, they collaborate with the U.S. Department of State’s International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP) to host current & emerging international leaders who work in both public and private sectors.  By programming meetings between visitors and their professional peers, hosting Iowa Table dinners, and sharing the rich culture of our community, Global Ties Iowa connects the world and the heartland.

In Spring of 2022, their name was updated from the Council of International Visitors to Iowa Cities (CIVIC) to Global Ties Iowa to better represent their mission and the entirety of the Eastern Iowa region

See you there to celebrate their new name and continued membership!
