Global Ties Detroit names Rybicki president of its executive team
September 27, 2019
Grosse Pointe resident Steven Rybicki is elected to a one-year term as president of Global Ties Detroit.
Grosse Pointe resident Steven Rybicki, president of the Infinity and Ovation Yacht Charters and senior vice president of Continental Services Managed Venue Group, was elected to a one-year term as president of Global Ties Detroit, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that hosts international exchange programs on behalf of the U.S. Department of State, the U.S. Agency for International Development and other governmental organizations, universities and think tanks that promote global exchange and citizen diplomacy.
In 2010, “D” Business Magazine honored Rybicki as one of Detroit’s top 30 business leaders in their 30s and Crain’s Detroit Business named him one of Detroit’s top “40 under 40” business leaders in 2008. As the newly elected president, Rybicki will continue to support the current Global Ties Detroit programming while helping the organization grow to reach more emerging global leaders and connect more Detroiters to the world.
Since joining the board of Global Ties Detroit in 2007, Rybicki said every delegate he has met says their visit to Detroit enhanced their understanding and respect for Americans and the traditions that shape the culture. He sees this form of citizen diplomacy as important for a better world.
“If the 786 influencers that came through the Global Ties Detroit programs last year told just 10 people about their positive experience in the United States and each of us told just 10 people about the wonderful experiences with our visitors, think about the exponential impact,” he said. “Then, through exchange and understanding we truly can build a more peaceful and prosperous world — one handshake at a time.”
