San Diego Diplomacy Gala
Join us at our 2017 Diplomacy Gala: Global Entrepreneurship + Public Diplomacy: A New Venture. The annual fundraiser is a celebration of the impact of public diplomacy in San Diego. This year we will highlight our professional exchange programs which connect local social and traditional entrepreneurs with their international counterparts to build mutual understanding, share best practices, and form lasting business relationships. We will celebrate social entrepreneurship as a new diplomacy tool to address some of the most intractable global challenges. The event will feature a sit-down dinner with entertainment, keynote speakers, a live auction, and the bestowment of the Hostler Diplomat of the Year Award, Partner Agency of the Year Award, and Member of the Year Award. In addition, the cocktail hour offers a great opportunity for silent auction bidding and networking for our 200+ guests that include diplomats, elected officials, business and civic leaders.
