Global Ties ABQ is Central New Mexico’s link to the international community. Each year, we host more than 350 international visitors in Albuquerque through U.S. State Department Citizen Diplomacy programs. We connect our visitors, who come to build professional skills, exchange ideas, and form partnerships, to our local community through meetings, dinners, and community conversations. Knowing the value of international experience, Global Ties ABQ is organizing a series of outbound programs for local emerging leaders to increase their knowledge and ties to the global community.

We are a membership organization and, if you haven’t already, we invite you to join. To sign up, click here or read more in the box below.
