Austin goes Saltillo - final planning meeting
The Austin-Saltillo Sister Cities Association held their last meeting before #AustinDay in Saltillo yesterday at Austin City Hall. We confirmed travel and lodging details, coordinated the gift exchange and established communication channels while outside of the U.S. A group of over 30 diverse delegates led by Council Member Pio Renteria is traveling to Saltillo, Mexico to promote international understanding, commemorate the historical relationship and to plan the next stages as sister cities. Make sure to follow the delegation on Facebook and Instagram for a unique insight into citizen-to-citizen diplomacy!
