Taipei, Tokyo and Zurich.

cost of living, world-class arts, major league sports, diverse
housing options and world-class education. With such a great

with new and existing employers to

discourse on significant issues impacting
communities around the world.

nonprofit organization’s services include
foreign language conversation hours,
cultural and educational programs, an
