Global Leaders Circle 2021 Campaign

As the leading presidential legacy organization, Sister Cities International was created at President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s 1956 White House Conference on Citizen Diplomacy. Since then, we have been honored to have every U.S. president serve as the organization’s Honorary Chairman, including Presidents Trump, Obama, Bush, Clinton and now President-elect Biden.
This year, the Global Leaders Circle will be specifically aligned with our 2021 Presidential Inaugural Celebration.
This year’s campaign provides a unique opportunity for individuals, businesses and organizations to be recognized in front of a large global audience at our high-profile, non-partisan, event that honors the swearing-in of the 46thPresident of the United States and celebrates “Global Peace and Diplomacy.”
All contributions to Sister Cities International received in December and January, including recent Giving Tuesday contributions, will receive Global Leaders Circle benefits and recognition as official supporters of our Inaugural Celebration.

Below are listed the Global Leaders Circle membership levels, as well as the benefits that each level provides.
