We had the pleasure of hosting an inspiring session on "Hometown State: Washington" with Alan Smith, a proud Washington native and current staff member at the U.S. Consulate in Erbil. Alan shared personal stories from growing up in the Evergreen State, highlighted its rich culture, natural beauty, and innovative spirit, and offered insights into how his roots shaped his career in diplomacy. The session gave participants a unique brief look into life in Washington while strengthening cultural ties and fostering mutual understanding. Thank you to everyone who joined us!
