Partners for Global Solutions Program
Every two months, Citizens for Global Solutions hosts a national conference call where an expert is interviewed on the issue that CGS is working on for that two-month period. Some CGS-MN members gather at a member's house for the call and for socializing afterward, while others participate in the call from home. It's a great opportunity for CGS members to get the latest news on the hottest global issues. By participating in the Partners program you join a network of activists around the country who are taking action in their local communities to build political will for positive multilateral US global engagement.
The Partners for Global Solutions Program is open to all CGS members. Click here to become a CGS member.
For information on how to participate in the Partners program please send an email to John Groos, CGS-MN Board member: at aol.com.
