GLI October Monthly Dinner

October 26th, 2015
Location: Faculty Club
Guest Speakers: 

• Mr. Tim Sword, President of Greater Columbus Sister Cities International
• Mr. Jeremy Leifel, Senior Sales Manager for Greater Columbus Sports Commission
• Ms. Sara Hall, Attorney, Gnoesis Group, Columbus International Program Board Member

Week 10: For GLI’s second monthly dinner, we had the pleasure of welcoming the Young Professional Delegation that recently went to Genoa/Milan, Italy in the month of October. Tim Sword, Jeremy Leifel, and Sara Hall all shared their personal experiences and stories of traveling to Italy. The trip was not only a cultural shock to them, but it was also a valuable lesson that taught them the importance of cultural exchange. Story telling is very powerful, and we are very fortunate to have heard these stories from young professionals within our community. From their stories, it is clear that traveling to a foreign country is an invaluable experience, an experience of a life time that can change an entire person’s view and perspective on this world.

Thank you to the guest speakers for bringing back insights from their trip and sharing that with us. We hope these stories inspires and motivates everyone to travel in the future, get out of their comfort zone, and explore the global world that we live in today!
