INTERNATIONAL STAFF GROUP (ISG)

The International Staff Group (ISG) is a coalition of nonprofit international organizations in the Greater Seattle area who collaborate on projects, coordinate programming and work to improve our international climate.

Each year ISG organizes the International Washington Day Reception at the Governor’s Mansion to demonstrate the importance of international connections to our state. We also learn from each other’s best practices and challenges and focus on issues of mutual interest. ISG was originally formed 20 years ago primarily as a mechanism to coordinate event calendars.

ISG is a great example of how international organizations work together, collaborate on larger issues and connect the greater community to the international aspects of our region.
