“I learn more about the future of Alabama-Germany business, it’s people, culture, and education in these quarterly meetings, than I do all the other days of the year combined. It’s a safe, multi-cultural environment to not only learn about new ideas, but also exchange and promote our own.” Kirk Atkinson, President, Adah International
“Others and I attended the first meetings of the Young Professional Group and it is just amazing how this at first small group surprised itself by growing so quickly. It is a pleasure to meet and greet new talent at each event from different backgrounds – manufacturing, distribution, service just to name a few. This group can be equally important for established professionals as well as young talent. Young talent may meet a future employer; established professionals may meet future co-workers. Just like everything in life – it’s what you make out of it!” Daniel Dueren
“The Alabama Germany Partnership provides an exceptional opportunity for individuals to exchange ideas, participate in diverse events as well as share common interest in US and German culture. I am excited to be a member of this unique organization and look forward to its future success.” Felix Faerber, Baker Donelson
