Commerce Global Resources Team to Promote Cuisines and Cultures Week
September 20, 2024
Kansas Department of Commerce International Director Laura Lombard today announced the division’s new Global Resources unit will be on the road this fall to promote Kansas Global Cuisines and Cultures Week. Global Resources staff will make more than 80 stops across the state in September and October, visiting businesses and organizations to introduce its programs and raise awareness of the inaugural campaign taking place in the spring. The team traveled almost 1,400 miles this week alone, having 35 meetings in 19 different Kansas communities.
The first Kansas Global Cuisines and Cultures Week will be March 16-22, 2025. It promises to be a celebration of the many international foods, cultures, arts and other interests that exist in the state. While cuisines and cultures provide local and regional flair throughout Kansas, they also contribute significantly to the state economy and help stimulate cultural exchanges with other regions of the world.
