"Global Nomads as World Citizens: Using our Past to Serve the Future"

The term "global nomads" refers to individuals who have lived pre-adult years
outside their passport countries because of a parent's occupation.  As the son
and daughters of diplomatic, military, missionary, international business or
inter-governmental agency personnel, for example, our childhood learning ground
has been the world itself.  Given this, we form a unique and distinct cultural
group with specific characteristics and common experiences.

Conference Site: Xerox International Conference Center located near Dulles
International Airport and Washington, DC in a beautiful wooded setting near
historic Leesburg, Virginia.  Ground Transportation from Dulles Airport is
available.

Dates: Friday, September 18 at 5 pm through Sunday, September 20
at 2 pm.
