Volunteers
"Volunteers are not paid; not because they are worthless, but because they are priceless."

The ICA is an organization run almost entirely by volunteers. Those with a passion for international hospitality have come together to accomplish some amazing things in the past year.
As a group we have:- Opened a center to facilitate coordination among internationally-focused organizations.
- Raised funding through Austin's premiere social event, the International Consular Ball in partnership with one of our affiliates.
- Sponsored seminars on international business and the global economy.
- Hosted over a dozen delegations at the ICA from almost as many countries, generating goodwill for Austin.
- Presented to almost two dozen organizations about the ICA.
- Provided high levels of customer service to our Affiliates and the international community.
- Informed the community on activities through the FYII newsletter.
- Provided an opportunity for local internationally-focused businesses to promote their services through the newsletter.
