New Diplomat Welcome

The New Diplomat Welcome (NDW) is our premier event when we welcome new diplomats and their spouses to the Washington, DC area and to Cultural Exchange for Diplomats. It will be held from 11 am to 1:30 pm on October 10.

The morning event includes three components:

• Coffee and Conversation: We begin by welcoming you, offering coffee and tea, and providing the opportunity to connect with other diplomats and internationally minded Americans. During this time, we distribute name tags to pre-registered attendees and register walk-ins (whom we are just as happy to meet).

• Meeting: Our President and New Diplomat Welcome Chair will formally welcome attendees and introduce CED’s Vice President of Programs, Vice President of Cultural Exchanges, and our Director of Diplomatic Relations. A German diplomat will also speak. 

• Adjournment to Refreshments and our Activity Fair: Enjoy a brunch of light fare, then visit the activity room to learn about opportunities for cultural exchanges and programs. Sign-up lists will be available for those who wish to participate.
