Membership consists of 550 US cities, counties and states that have over 2000 partnerships in over 140 countries on 6 continents.HISTORY:Sister Cities International was created at President Eisenhower’s 1956 White House conference on citizen diplomacy, where he envisioned an organization that could be a champion for peace and prosperity by fostering bonds between people from different communities around the world. By forming these relationships, President Eisenhower reasoned that people of different cultures could celebrate and appreciate their differences that would lessen the chance of new conflicts.WHAT IS A SISTER CITY? A sister city, county, or state relationship is a broad-based, long-term partnership between two communities in two countries. A sister city, county, or state relationship is officially recognized after the highest elected or appointed official from both communities sign off on an agreement.A sister city organization is a volunteer group of citizens who, with the support of their local elected officials and government, form long-term relationships with people and organizations in a city abroad. Each sister city organization is independent and pursues the activities in thematic areas that are important to them and their community including municipal, business, trade, educational and cultural exchanges with their sister city.WHAT DO SISTER CITIES DO?Sister cities relationships offer endless possibilities for communities to conduct a wide variety of programs and activities. Programming can typically be classified in four main areas:Arts and CultureArts and culture programs are some of the oldest and most robust in the sister cities network. These programs include museum exchanges, film and food festivals, cooperative art projects, dance and theater performances, and more. Many culture and arts activities double as economic development, drawing tourism and investment to cities across the U.S.Business and TradeIn many communities, sister city relationships have served as an international bridge for local businesses to expand and help spur growth. In recent years sister city programs have increasingly incorporated economic development into their programming, including trade delegations, import/export initiatives, business-to-business events, tourism promotion, and support of business incubators and entrepreneurs.Community Development and Municipal ExchangePeer-learning between municipal employees and elected officials through sister city activities have helped cities implement innovative policies and management techniques in sanitation, water, health, transportation, tourism, economic development, and education. Sister city programs also often raise funds or supplies for natural disasters or other emergencies in their sister cities. Other development projects renovating clinics, building wells, and school projects.Youth and EducationSister city programs are often the first opportunity that youth have to travel abroad and build relationships with peers in other countries. Activities often include short- and long-term student exchanges, virtual exchanges, and sports tournaments. These exchanges are most often described as “a life-changing experience” and help youth develop cultural competence and maturity that will help them throughout their lives.Kane also sits on the board of Suburban Hospital, a member of Johns Hopkins Medicine. and Mount Saint Mary's University.</gallery></gallery>".
