GLL #BacktoVilnius Networking + Special Guest
An informal get-together for the GLL community to celebrate and share our individual and joined efforts in supporting Ukraine.
About this event
On 14 April, we invite the Global Lithuanians and friends of Lithuania to meet at the GLL #BacktoVilnius Networking night.
The past few months have been tough, but in what sometimes seems to be a divided world, we are united more than ever.
Both at an individual and organizational level, all of us have taken part in many great initiatives around the world, showing our boundless support and solidarity with the people in Ukraine.
It is time to take a pit stop, celebrate what has already been achieved, share and generate new ideas, see old friends and make new meaningful connections.
GLL as the organization, summoned a #GLLexecs4Ukraine task force to engage our network to apply pressure on Western companies to leave the Russian market. GLL chair of the board Dalia Petkevičienė will discuss the latest situation with our SPECIAL GUEST - Eitvydas Bajarūnas, Lithuania's Ambassador (designated) to Russia.
Our 30 min fireside chat with the ambassador will start at 19:30, so make sure you do not miss it!
