Friendship Force International Town Hall Meetings

Town Hall Meetings

Dear friends,

Donna Simek, Chair of the International Board of Directors, and Jeremi Snook, CEO & President of Friendship Force International, would like to invite you to a discussion with FFI leaders. These town hall-style meetings are informal opportunities for members to ask the Board of Directors questions and hear about the changes underway at Friendship Force as we navigate our future together.

Town hall meetings are designed to give people in every time zone an opportunity for engagement throughout the year and the meetings are open to all active members. Translation assistance may be made available, should that be needed.  View meetings times and register below.

We look forward to talking with you at one of our town hall meetings this year.

July 13, 2024 Business Meeting

Friends!
 
We have a terrific speaker, Celeste Nuñez, the Director of International Business Resources for the New Mexico Trade Alliance (NMTA), a nonprofit economic development organization. 
 
Your RSVP is important as it will determine whether we will have a speaker.
 
She will address how she and the New Mexico Trade Alliance connect New Mexico companies with local, state, federal, and international export assistance resources to help them gain and grow international sales.
 
For over a decade, the NMTA has served as the state’s premiere trade organization providing export assistance to New Mexico companies, facilitating foreign company soft-landing, and advancing diplomatic relations.
 
The NMTA is funded by the City of Albuquerque, Bernalillo County, State of New Mexico, and the Air Force Research Lab.

 Celeste sits on the Albuquerque Sister Cities Foundation Board and is Chair of the Albuquerque-Guadalajara Sister City relationship where she facilitates STEM and Art youth exchanges through the Space Messengers program. Celeste has also supported cross border collaboration with other communities in Mexico. In 2019, Celeste served as the organizer of the Albuquerque – Chihuahua Sister City Bilateral Commission. Led by the cities’ mayors, the commission provided a platform for mutually benefiting collaboration in areas such as economic development, public safety, tourism, and others.   

Celeste is also a member of the U.S. Global Leadership Coalition (USGLC) New Mexico Advisory Board. In 2020, she was selected as the New Mexico Next Gen Global Leader with the USGLC.

 In addition, Celeste is a member of the Global Shapers Albuquerque hub, and serves as the Biz Dev and Mentorship Project lead. Born under the World Economic Forum, Global Shapers are a network of over 500 hubs in the world made of young leaders focused on enacting change in their communities.

You are welcome to invite friends and/or family to this event!
