Oakton President Honored by Sister Cities International
Margaret B. "Peg" Lee, president of Oakton Community College, will be honored by Sister Cities International on Saturday, July 15, in Washington D.C., for her work to strengthen partnerships between the U.S. and international communities.
Lee will be inducted into the 50th Anniversary Local Government Leadership Circle during the Sister Cities International conference. The ceremony takes place at the prestigious Warner Theatre, where singer and songwriter John McCutcheon will perform.
Lee is being honored for her support of both the Sister Cities Association of Des Plaines and Sister Cities International. Since 1985, Lee and Oakton have played a vital leadership role in strengthening local citizen diplomacy by volunteering to host international groups and organizations, and making College resources available for Sister Cities activities.
Celebrating its 50th anniversary this summer, Sister Cities International, a nonprofit, citizen diplomacy network, promotes sustainable development, youth involvement, cultural understanding, and humanitarian aid in more than 2,500 communities and 134 countries.
