Nobody’s ever accused Louisvillians of being introverted. So it only makes sense that we’d be the first, and only, city with an initiative to recruit and retain talented professionals from all over the world. The masterminds behind this tool are the folks from Greater Louisville International Professionals (G.L.I.P.).

G.L.I.P. is an organization focused on attracting and retaining international talent by showcasing Louisville as a welcoming and inclusive city of possibilities. G.L.I.P also brings together Louisville professionals who have business interests in other parts of the world, as well as creating a community for current residents who transplanted here from other countries. G.L.I.P. is an organization with networking opportunities, social events, committee service opportunities, mentorship programs for newcomers, Country Ambassadorships, and now the newly added social-network discussion boards online.

To date, G.L.I.P. has almost 300 members, 25 Country Ambassadors, and over 1,000 other interested people connected to the program. If this sounds like an organization you’d like to be part of, click here to learn more and get involved.

G.L.I.P. is yet another example of how Possibility City capitalizes on Louisville’s social nature and turns it into a competitive advantage. The next time you come across someone who speaks another language, instead of saying “hi” or “how you doing?” why not let them know that in Louisville, anything’s possible.
