Poland is increasingly becoming an attractive partner to the U.S. in business, trade and education. Seattle has many ties to Poland, including Nicole Piasecki, Vice President of Business development for Boeing Commercial Airplanes, the University of Washington Jackson School of International Studies, Seattle’s Polish Community Home and the Polish American Chamber of Commerce – Pacific Northwest (PACCPNW), among others. Many of whom will attend the July 25th reception.
Discussions of mutual business and exchange opportunities occur simultaneously in each country. Last month President Obama visited Warsaw to further strengthen U.S.-Poland relations.
