Point of Personal Privilege:
Promoting the Congress-Bundestag Youth Exchange (CBYX)
I am the product of a State Department-funded transatlantic exchange program and am certain I would not be where I am today were it not for that experience.
I hope our friends in Congress and throughout the transatlantic space will considering sharing information with their constituents about all such programs available to their constituents. Just one opportunity is the Congress-Bundestag Youth Exchange, serving 700 young Americans and Germans annually.
If you'd like information about how you can promote these programs on your website or social media accounts, send me a note. I'll connect you to the right person.
