Our Team
Sister Cities International is composed of dedicated individuals and organizations committed to realizing President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s vision of peace through people and advancing the citizen diplomacy movement into the future. Our team is available and ready to help you establish a new sister city relationship, connect you with another member, or provide program guidance when you need it.
Honorary Board Alumni
Sister Cities International’s Honorary Board Alumni comprises key individuals who have shown great leadership to Sister Cities International through the years.
They are long-standing volunteers from membership, former members of the Board of Directors, or former State Representatives who, because of their outstanding support and involvement in the organization, were voted as Honorary Board Alumni members.
As a self-governing body, the Honorary Board Alumni is ready to assist our members with a wealth of institutional knowledge and experience.
