The International Cultural-Educational Association (ICEA) and TD Marketing Global, Inc. in partnership with the Ukrainian company called “Business Trip Center” (www.businesstrip.in.ua) invited a group, including mayors of Ukrainian cities, municipal workers, business owners and others, to participate in a program conducted in Beverly Hills and Los Angeles (state California) during March 26 to April 2, 2011.
The program provided presentations and meetings hosted by collaborating organizations, including the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, Los Angeles Mayor's office and Mayor of Beverly Hills, Beverly Hills Chamber of Commerce, which provided opportunities to network and develop new business relationships.
Our program objective was to introduce the members of the Ukrainian delegation to the American municipal system, provide opportunities for Ukrainian cities to participate in the Sister Cities International program, and learn about new strategies for municipal government being employed by American cities in the present economic situation.
