City Committees representing each partner city execute our reciprocal exchange programs. Volunteers also work diligently on fundraising, marketing and educational events for the entire community.

Board of Directors QUESTIONNAIRE

    “Foster and nurture international cooperation, understanding
    and development between the people of Newport News, Virginia
    and selected sister cities through educational, cultural, economic,
