Based in Bowling Green, Kentucky – a thriving, diverse ethnic community with growing international businesses, the GALC works closely with area businesses, colleges and universities both domestically and abroad. The GALC is funded by revenue generating projects carried out by associates for the target service group as well as by grants to enhance and support international business education. The GALC is led by individuals, staff and volunteers that have worked in different cultures for multinational corporations and have lived in different areas of the world. This group has experience doing business in over 40 countries.
