Global Roundtable: Connecting Southern Utah to the Globe
Utahns do business in over 100 countries across the globe. We spend tens of thousands of hours each year engaged in international service. Our young adults travel the world as religious missionaries. Our children participate in international exchange programs. Utahns have deep and far-reaching international connections and Utah Global Diplomacy plays a critical role in these connections by hosting hundreds of foreign dignitaries and leaders in Utah every year. Come learn how Utah Global Diplomacy is working to connect Utah communities, including the St. George area, across the globe through citizen diplomacy and share your ideas on how to create more international connections here at home in the St. George area.
