Recently, founder Sandy Rosenthal met with a group on a study tour related to Transparency & Accountability in Government. This delegation is made of twelve international leaders from Portugal, Brazil, Mozambique and Angola.

Rosenthal spoke to the group about Levees.org’s work in exposing the Army Corps of Engineers levee building mistakes and its campaign after H. Katrina to cover them up.

The presentation was organized through the Global New Orleans which is a nonprofit organization that arranges professional appointments and cultural activities for over 500 international leaders sent to New Orleans annually by the U.S. Department of State International Visitor Leadership Program and other programs.

As one of approximately 90 councils nationwide, and the only council in Louisiana, the Global New Orleans aims to promote cross-cultural relationships and mutual understanding.
