Dear Members & Friends of GABC,
Again time is flying and our May newsletter is already here. With all the daily news from all around the world, it seems nothing is slowing down these days.
Also the GABC is very active. Please check out the next events, be it the "Kaminabend" on May 22nd, the European Food Festival on June 1st or the New Member Reception (for all new members who joined the GABC within the last 12 months) on June 16th - we are offering something for everybody.
I am looking forward seeing you all at one of the upcoming events and would like to close today with the quotation below:
"Jeder Frühling trägt den Zauber eines Anfangs in sich."
(Monika Minder)
"Each spring carries the magic of a new beginning in itself."
In diesem Sinne - Enjoy the spring!
Alles Gute,
Michael

Kaminabend with Dr. Alexander Görlach: Does a German Leitkultur even exist in today's global world?
Why is it so hard for us Germans to define our culture? The Leitkultur debate is back on the political stage. Join us for an intimate and frank Kamingespräch with Dr. Alexander Görlach – author, academic, journalist and entrepreneur—whose research focuses on the intersection of religious identities and their influence on policy-making. The discussion will be hosted in the über gracious home of GABC's Vice President in Weston, MA (just off the MassPike / Rt 128). We hope that guests will go home enriched --- with deep thoughts and new insights after an evening of good food and wine, and stimulating conversation. This exclusive event is only open to GABC members and is not open to the general public. Pre-registration and ticket ($30) required. www.gabc-boston.org

Delivery is Key!
Performance Workshop for Entrepreneurs
Building on the concepts of our February workshop “Mastering the Me Talk” which focused on crafting a compelling pitch, this workshop took attendees through the next steps --how to engage an audience and project your voice; how to overcome stage fright and be aware of body language.

GABC members at German-American Conference meet with Berlin’s Foreign Office Transatlantic Coordinator Jürgen Hardt
for a briefing and off-the-record conversation about Berlin’s view on the new Trump administration in Washington. The transition period might be a bit longer than in the past, but Berlin is deeply convinced the historically strong ties with the US, and friendly connections on many levels of politics, the economy and society will rule the relations with both countries.
