Global Atlanta - July 8, 2009
Based on a Georgia leadership organization's inaugural international retreat in June, the business and educational community in Costa Rica is considering forming its own leadership group to promote continued economic and educational development throughout the country. Leadership Georgia, a non-profit organization housed in the Georgia Chamber of Commerce, invites community leaders from across the state to participate in various weekend-long events during one year to learn about economic development and education initiatives taking place in Georgia. A June 11-14 leadership weekend in Costa Rica was the group's first event outside of the United States... Sebastian Urbina, director of the Georgia Tech's new Trade-chain Innovation & Production (TIP) Center near the capital of San Jose, spoke to the group about that center's research on trade technologies. The center is scheduled for an official opening celebration on Aug. 20.
