COMMISSION ON INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS AND CULTURAL LIAISON ENCOUNTERS

The Commission on International Relations and Cultural Liaison Encounters promotes and coordinates communication, contacts and encounters between Columbus and the people of other nations and facilitates cross-culture communications and association among the various national groups in Columbus. It has twelve (12) members, with four members being appointed by the Mayor and eight being appointed by the Columbus Council. The terms are four years.

At least six members must be United States citizens and registered Columbus voters, but because of the Commission’s mission, up to half of the members need not meet this criteria. (Ordinance No. 96-7)
