In 1995, The City of Tulsa assigned TGA as the organization responsible for managing Tulsa's Sister City relationships, which promote trade, educational and cultural exchanges, tourism, dignitary visits, internships, sports and other projects. Tulsa has eight Sister Cities: Amiens, France; Beihai, China; Celle, Germany; Kaohsiung, Taiwan; San Luis Potosi, Mexico; Tiberias, Israel; Utsunomiya, Japan; and Zelenograd, Russia. Half of those have been going on for more than 25 years! Each of Tulsa's City Councilors acts as an honorary Ambassador. TGA also does an amazing job hosting international visitors by creating high quality and customized itineraries and programs. A variety of visitors includes professionals, young adults, and youth leaders from around the world. In 2018, more than 350 international visitors from 90 nations came to Tulsa. Tulsa is a popular destination for the U.S. State Department, U.S. Embassies, and the U.S. Library of Congress-sponsored international visitor partner organizations such as The International Visitor Leadership Program, The Youth Ambassador Program and Open World Programs. Each visit usually has a particular theme/purpose such as Global Energy Security, Contemporary Native American Governance in the U.S., and Women's Entrepreneurship. TGA advances citizen diplomacy through educational events, learning initiatives, and cultural events like World in a Box Day in August in partnership with the Tulsa Library. They also promote international trade and business. Anyone can become a part of TGA by attending any of their events throughout the year, hosting international visitors, participating in cultural exchanges, or becoming an official member. Memberships start at $25! They also have corporate memberships available starting at $750. There are many membership benefits such as registration discounts, networking opportunities, and calendar access. TGA used to be located at the University of Tulsa but they have recently moved to Oklahoma State University- Tulsa campus in the Main Hall.

If you're ever curious about checking this makers space out, they have tours every Saturday at 1pm. It's an amazing facility. The building opened in 2022 and it was made just for them so it's a huge upgrade from their previous location, where they were for 11 years. They now have an open floor plan with high ceilings and lots of natural light along with 20+ machines available. From laser cutters/engravers to water jets and 3D printers, the resources they offer are mind blowing. Fab Lab Tulsa is one of 1500+ MIT-chartered Fab Labs in 90+ countries and the first in the southeastern region of the U.S. (that's right, not even Dallas has one). Aside from the studio on the first floor, they have a metal lab and a wood lab, each with 10+ machines available. Both labs have a minimum age and require PPE to be worn at all times. The second floor has classrooms and a conference room. They have a membership model with lots of options depending on how many hours per month you'd like to have as well as what room. The pricing starts at $39 a month, which sounds like an incredible deal since you get to use machines that are $30-60k. Classes are also available for signup on their website along with education programming for kids. They have a couple of workforce initiatives as well. This is a huge asset in our community!
