The Annual Consular Corps Gala - May 12, 2006

On May 12, 2006, the Consular Corps Association of Philadelphia, the oldest association of foreign Consuls in the United States encompassing representatives from 32 countries from around the globe, recognized preeminent individuals and institutions from the Greater Philadelphia area who have contributed significantly to a closer understanding of people from around the world. Unlike the countless events organized and coordinated by the WTCGP staff each year, this Annual Consular Gala gave us a unique opportunity to celebrate achievements of one of our own: Joanna Savvides, WTCGP President, was awarded 2006 Global Leadership in Business Award. The Honorable Oliver St. Clair Franklin, President and Chief Executive Officer, International House of Philadelphia, received the 2006 Global Leadership in Education Award. Samuel Dalembert, Member of the Philadelphia 76ers Basketball Team, was recognized with the 2006 Global Leadership in Humanitarian Service Award.
