Local Diplomacy or International Connection? The Consular Corps in Hawaii

Denis Salle is the Honorary Consul for the Federal Republic of Germany in Hawaii.

With it's nearly 200 year-long history, the Consular Corps is one of Hawaii's oldest organizations, yet few residents in the islands know about it's role and purpose. Representatives of nearly 40 nations regularly meet and use this groups as a forum for exchange, support and collaboration among foreign policy professionals and local representatives of their sending nations. Past president of the Corps and Honorary Consul of Germany Denis Salle will explain the duties and challenges of foreign diplomats in Hawaii, while taking us through some common scenarios of their daily engagements. What does the Consular Corps do for community outreach and where does it focus its efforts as a non-profit in Honolulu? Our speaker will try to show where we may have room for collaboration.
