Recently, founder Sandy Rosenthal spoke with a delegation from Europe, as part of a project on “Transparency and Accountability in Government.”

At the Flooded House Museum, Rosenthal spoke with eight delegates from the countries of Belarus, Bulgaria, Hungary, Latvia, Romania, Serbia and Slovakia.

Rosenthal spoke about the origins of Levees.Org, the reckoning that the investigations provided, and also hear about she continues to keep the “big guys” accountable through the Beat the Big Guys podcast.  The meeting took place at the Flooded House Museum in the Filmore Gardens neighborhood of New Orleans.

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, Global New Orleans aims to promote cross-cultural relationships and mutual understanding.
