Participants from the U.S. Department of State's Young Leaders of the Americas Initiative will be taking part in an event at Oakwood University, hosted by Global Ties Alabama.
As part of the event ten individual business and social entrepreneurs from Latin America and the Caribbean are travelling to Alabama to build partnerships with local entrepreneurial organizations and companies.
The 80 scholars will gather in the McKee Business and Technology Complex on December 1, 2017, at 9:00 a.m. The talk-show style program will be hosted by David Person and UNCF campaign co-chairs, Larry and Kim Lewis.
The five-week program will introduce the scholars to relevant businesses, non-governmental organizations, and start-ups in the Huntsville area while learning from U.S. counterparts in day-to-day operations. The knowledge they gain will contribute to social and economic development in their communities.
Funding for this program is provided by The Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs of the U.S. Department of State. Global Ties Alabama is honored to work with Meridian International Center and Atlas Corps and Entrepreneurs. For further information, contact Global Ties Alabama at gta3@madisoncontyal.gov
