Today in the gallery we have the Bertelsmann Foundation. The Bertelsmann Foundation a non-profit/non-partisan transatlantic minded think tank in Washington DC is visiting Richmond today for a town hall trip to learn more about the Commonwealth of Virginia. The group of diplomats consists of representatives from France, Austria, Belgium, Slovakia, and the European Union.

The Bertelsmann foundation seeks to connect people outside of Washington DC and European capitals to help foster new connections and strengthen transatlantic cooperation. The members will be in the capitol today in the Jefferson Room, I would encourage members to take a moment to say hi and have a discussion with the delegation.

I hope it is the will of the body to give them a warm house welcome.
