In a salute to our heritage as the oldest and largest national movement of Citizen Diplomats in the world, Sister Cities International and this year's Annual Conference (see details above) planners are reintroducing the Parade of Flags and combining it with the City of San Jose Sister Cities Flag Raising Tradition as part of the 2014 Annual Conference and Youth Leadership Summit Opening Ceremony. But with a minor twist!
The Parade of Flags will be a parade of city/county/region flags to honor who we are as member communities in this national movement. In this regard, each member city and state or organization is requested to provide a flag for this ceremony. It is envisioned that this one time member gift to Sister Cities International will be retained for use at succeeding Annual Conference Opening Ceremonies.
