SHAPING THE

2018 ANNUAL REPORT 2019 FROM OUR BOARD CHAIR

ooking back over this year, we feel enormous pride in what Global has accomplished. Together, we’ve created the momentum needed to truly shape our future L and the future of our great state. Mid-year, we embarked on a leadership transition as President Carol Engebretson Byrne stepped down after 22 years of remarkable service. Former Minnesota Secretary of State Mark Ritchie stepped into the role of president, bringing his lifelong commitment to people-to-people diplomacy and the visionary leadership needed to mobilize broad public engagement in global affairs. Global Minnesota’s exceptional attributes - strong leadership, talented staff, mission-driven programs, vital partnerships, and passionately committed members remain the driving forces behind our success. And these central pillars will continue to serve as a firm foundation for charting the years ahead.

Guided by a new five-year plan, we will grow this global community, address the most important international topics, promote respect for and deeper understanding of the many cultures that call Minnesota home, and continue to collaborate with our amazing Ertugrul Tuzcu partners – global, national, and local.

As always, we are grounded by our mission and values, which guide our day-to-day work of connecting Minnesotans to the world and the world to Minnesota. That’s what got us here, and that’s what will take us forward as we together make our global future.

Ertugrul Tuzcu Mark Ritchie Board Chair

In 2018-19, former Global Minnesota President, Carol Engebretson Byrne, was recognized for her leadership with several prestigious local and national awards. Capping this well-deserved recognition were the World Affairs Councils of America Board Chair’s Individual Award and Global Ties, U.S. Award for Excellence in Leadership.
