Fort Worth, Texas – What you need to know before you go!   

Fort Worth Sister Cities International is conducting its first community class on why protocol is necessary in today’s world for both business and leisure travel.   The class will take place Sept. 29, 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. at BBVA Compass 3^rd floor conference room located at One Museum Way: 3100 W. 7^th Street Suite 310, Fort Worth, TX.  A nominal fee of $35 includes lecture, class materials, certificate of Citizen Diplomacy, and light snack.

Led by Susan Turner, Senior Protocol Officer at Lockheed Martin, Protocol 101 will give attendees traveling for business or pleasure the tools they need to be good citizen diplomats representing Fort Worth, Texas and the U.S.A. In a humorous, rapid fire presentation, Turner will discuss ways to capitalize on your experience.

“Today, business decisions come down to more than dollars and cents, tax incentives, and the bottom line. How people feel about the community, its leadership, its civic spirit, and its culture matter just as much, if not more,” says Mae Ferguson, President/CEO and Protocol Officer of Fort Worth Sister Cities International. Ferguson also says, “Leisure travelers can receive more meaningful experiences with training to either gain new perspectives or by learning to invest in the people of the places they visit.”
