ICW hosted visitors from Azerbaijan under the Open World program funded by the Open World Leadership Center at the Library of Congress. The theme of the program was “Accountable Governance” and it offered its participants an opportunity to meet with the Mayor of Worcester and other City officials to get an understanding of the local form of government. According to the specific theme of the program, such local professional resources as the City’s Election Commissioner, Chief Financial Officer, or Office of Economic Development were visited. ICW also selected private NGOs such as the American Civil Liberties Union, the League of Women Voters, or other scores of private and community organizations in Worcester for the international visitors from Azerbaijan to meet with.
Participants are invited to comment.
