Shari is a member of teh VV Rotary Club. She is going to join us to share their club's experience hosting a delegation from the Republic of Georgia last fall as part of the Open World Program. This program is sponsored by the US Congressional Office of International Leadership (COIL), and its purpose is to build the groundwork for enduring cooperation with 21 post-Soviet countries by bringing emerging government and civic leaders to the United States to work with their American counterparts during 10-day professional visits to help them learn how the US addresses a variety of social issues. Since 1999, COIL has hosted over 30,000 leaders in all 50 states. Last October, Valley View Rotary hosted a delegation of six from Georgia to learn how our government, educational, community and non-profit organizations address the issue of resocialization and rehabilitation of former prisoners.
