Sister City Representatives from Slovakia Visit the Alliance
A delegation from Charleston’s Sister City, Banska-Bystrica in Slovakia, today stopped by the Alliance offices during a whirlwind tour of the Kanawha Valley.
During an International Advisory Council meeting, the representatives offered an overview of their cities, while Alliance President Matt Ballard gave them a presentation on the Alliance and its mission.
The Banska-Bystrica city manager invited us to Slovakia, and hopefully we can someday take him up on it. The Alliance continues building relationships throughout the world, and this kind of goodwill can only benefit the region.
