Please join us at the next Global Lunch Forum!

GCIV Global Lunch Forums are a great way for busy professionals to interact with fascinating international visitors coming to Atlanta. The speakers are participants in U.S. Department of State exchange programs. Over lunch, the visitors will tell you about their work in their respective countries, and you will have an opportunity to engage in open discussion with people who are leaders in their fields from around the world.

At this lunch forum we will host:

Ms. Lumka Oliphant, Senior Reporter for City Press Newspaper in Soweto, South Africa

Ms. Oliphant will talk about her experience covering politics and civil society in South Africa. She and her colleagues are preparing to cover the South African general elections in 2009. Ms. Oliphant will also talk about her participation in the International Visitor Leadership Program in the U.S., where she is discussing the U.S. electoral system, political campaigns, and civil rights with her professional counterparts. Please come prepared to engage in discussion with our guest.

This lunch forum will be a brown bag lunch, so you can bring your own lunch or ask GCIV to order a boxed lunch for you in advance.

Space is limited and you must RSVP to attend.
