Last week, I had the privilege to visit the US Capitol! The US Senators for GA- Senator Jon Ossoff and Senator Rev. Raphael Warnock, hosted GIACC Board Members and a 52 member Indian Business Delegation of CEOs of small and medium businesses at a reception in the magnificent LBJ Hall. The reception was the culmination of a persistent 18 month effort by GIACC to bring this delegation to GA, working patiently through various challenges, including but not limited to obtaining expedite B-1 visitor visas through liaison with the Consul General, Chennai, India office and the Senator’s offices! Both Senators welcomed the delegates and expressed the whole hearted support of their offices to assist with investment in GA. Over the next three days, GIACC will host the delegation in Atlanta for meetings with GA Economic Development; informational sessions and panel discussions with service providers, meetings with County Commissioners and participation in GATE ( GIACC Atlanta Trade Event), 2024.
