As a business executive and former expat, I see huge differences between children and young adults with a global perspective and those without it—differences in conceptual capacity, world view, broad thinking, and openness to diverse experiences and people. Having a global mindset is a major competitive advantage for young adults entering the workforce.”– Diane Gulyas, President of DuPont Performance Polymers - See more at: http://www.actfl.org/publications/books-and-brochures/raising-global-children#sthash.ycOhzP7q.dpuf

““Northwest Ohio is a prime area for
foreign direct investment opportunities. “In
2013, more than 3,500 jobs were created
as a result of foreign direct investment in
