Board of Directors
Message from the President
Welcome to International Focus and thank you for visiting our page. For four decades our
organization has brought the world to the Triangle and North Carolina. With the help of our
talented staff and board of directors, along with countless volunteer hours, International Focus
continuously delivers positive impact to our community through meaningful and life changing
interactions. We bring the world to our North Carolina community through cultural
festivals, international exchange programs, and virtual events. Our members have the
opportunity to host dinners for foreign dignitaries and our International Festival of Raleigh
enriches our community by bringing the food, art and music of the world under one roof. Our
exchange programs connect local companies with emerging leaders from around the world and
area professionals have the opportunity to meet with their international counterparts. We also
help develop our future leaders by mentoring students and offering opportunities to witness
naturalization ceremonies. I along with our board invite you to explore the world here in North
Carolina by participating in our events, becoming a member, and enjoying all the opportunities
our exchange programs provide, or by your individual or corporate partnership that helps
develop our future leaders and continue our life changing programs. We look forward to making
a positive impact in your life and community.
