Growing Global - A Great WIPP Experience Special Guest Blog by Ann Blackburn
6:32 PM August 30, 2010
Thanks to an invitation through WIPP to participate in the U.S. State Department sponsored Business Women's Summit in Jordan in 2007, I now have the honor of visiting Syria next month. Courtesy of my friend Khulud Halaby, who became my partner during the exchange, I have met the Syrian Ambassador to the United States and will be meeting the Ambassador of the United States to Syria during my visit.
Khulud has visited us twice here in California since 2007, where she toured many businesses and met many new American friends. Damascus is one of, if not the oldest cities in the world. Experiencing this part of the world and being hosted so graciously is an unexpected benefit of my association with WIPP. If you ever have the opportunity to participate in an exchange program of any kind, I highly recommend it.
