Explore both
Lebanon's place in the world and the
enormous contributions persons of Lebanese descent have made to our
country. During the
three-day event attendees will have the opportunity to hear from, and
interact with, cabinet ministers from Lebanon, the Lebanese Ambassador
to the United States and the former United States Ambassador to Lebanon,
as well as other experts on Lebanon and the politics and economy of the
region. But this event is
more than a symposium on Lebanon's place
in the world.
It is
also a celebration of Americans of Lebanese descent through music and
food.
The Lebanese community in
Peoria
is an outstanding example of the many Lebanese communities through out
the country that have contributed so much to the prosperity and quality
of life of their neighbors. To tie all of this together, we are fortunate to be able to draw
upon the talent and knowledge of the first Presidential Cabinet-level
appointee from Central Illinois, perhaps the best known person of
Lebanese descent in the world, the United States Secretary of the
Department of Transportation, Ray LaHood.
