Welcome Notes

Messages From Our Leadership

From the President — Globe Relations Foundation & America Global Relations Foundation
"We founded Globe Relations Foundation on a simple but profound conviction: that every human being deserves dignity, opportunity, and the tools to thrive — regardless of where they were born. As we expand through our American chapter, we carry this mission into one of the world's most powerful nations, where inequality, violence, and exploitation still rob millions of their potential. America Global Relations Foundation is our answer to that injustice. Together — across America, Canada, Europe, and Africa — we are building bridges that no wall can bring down."
Jace Owie
President & Chairman — America Global Relations Foundation & Globe Relations Foundation
From the First Secretary General — America Global Relations Foundation
"Our work begins at the community level — listening, learning, and then acting with purpose. Whether opening an Open Youth House in Washington D.C., fighting cyber fraud targeting vulnerable American women, delivering food in New Jersey, or advocating for migrant rights in Congress, our commitment is unwavering. Communities deserve more than promises. They deserve real, committed, present partners. That is what we are — and what we will always be."
Terryann Talbert
First Secretary General — America Global Relations Foundation
