A Transatlantic Rift? An Evening with the German and Dutch Ambassadors
Our first event in Boise, “A Transatlantic Rift? An Evening with the German and Dutch Ambassadors” will be a public reception graciously hosted by Holland and Hart, which will take place the evening of Tuesday, October 16 at 6pm. The purpose of this meet-and-greet event is to introduce CNAS and our visitors to the Boise business community, and gain insight into issues and trends facing the Boise business community today. This event will give the CNAS team, as well as Ambassadors Haber and Shuwer, a chance to talk one-on-one with business leaders in a more casual relaxed setting.
