VANCOUVER B.C.

The Group Study Exchange (GSE) is an international exchange program for young professionals. It provides its participants with a unique insight into the culture of another country and a wide exposure to their foreign vocational counterparts. This year’s program is with British Columbia District 5040 which includes Vancouver. It will be different from past programs in that it will have Homeland Security as its theme and both the Team Leader and Team Members will have Homeland Security backgrounds. We need applicants from airport and seaport security, law enforcement, U.S. and L.A. County District Attorney and Public Defenders Offices, FBI, CIA, U.S. Customs, Coast Guard, and others who have relevant occupational backgrounds.

Please help by providing names of possible candidates for Team Members to Pete Pettler, GSE District Chair at Pete.Pettler@rotary5280.org or phone him at (310) 543-1616 or fax him at (310) 543-5019.
