Tulsa Global Alliance

This weekend, India celebrates its Independence Day, and last month, TGA hosted four International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP) meteorologists and weather influencers from India. Part of their visit, and part of every international visitor’s stay in Tulsa, is - the opportunity to share a meal with Tulsa families and volunteers. TGA thanks Alejandro Muñozcano, Carla Munozcano, and Dayal Meshri for hosting them for home hospitality dinner in Tulsa, along with FOX23 News Meteorologist Mike Grogan Weather. If you would like to be a home host for dinner diplomacy with TGA, please email [email protected]. Global Ties U.S. Marriott International
