Reflections and Connections: Message of Gratitude and Best Wishes
| |
As we look forward to a new year, we also welcome another rotation of Trade Commissioners and Consuls General. This year, I must bid farewell to Ryan Francis, Consul General at the Philippine Consulate General in Chicago. I look forward to meeting the incoming representative from the Philippines.
He is departing to take on the role of Executive Director/Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Office of Financial Management Services at the Department of Foreign Affairs in Manila. It’s fitting that his last day in Chicago, marked by horrible cold, mirrored the day he arrived in early 2019 during the polar vortex.
Best of luck in your new role and enjoy the 80-degree weather ahead!
Michael Edgar, Founder and CEO, SelectGlobal, LLC
