A Reflection on the Year.
Each year the VCWA welcomes community members to come together to draw our exceptional year to a close and look forward to the exciting year ahead. We welcome 802 Diplomat leaders who speak to their strong ties to the VCWA community and embody the VCWA mission.
Are you an 802 Diplomat?
Who is an 802 Diplomat?
Anyone who is in or has visited the 802 (Vermont!) and engages in citizen diplomacy!
Be an 802 Diplomat
Engage with ideas and citizens of other countries and cultures to help enhance global thinking and awareness. Whether personally or professionally, domestically or abroad - these interactions and this exchange of knowledge help shape public opinion, understanding, and decision making, no matter how big or small!
