We are grateful for current and, especially, former board members and executive directors who have and are building the foundation for success. We are grateful for our partners in our Sister Cities of Olomouc, Czech Republic and Nisshin, Japan and the cooperation that continues to grow and deepen between our cities and regions. It is because of that cooperation we are able to create a wide variety of programs that have earned international recognition over time.
