“The group of economic developers that founded AGP in the late nineties had a vision: they understood that future German investments in Alabama would require support that extended beyond the boardroom – which is why AGP focuses on culture, education, and business. The AGP Annual Dinner is an opportunity to recognize and celebrate each of these pillars, and how meaningful the relationship between Germany and Alabama has become.” – Michael Brooks, AGP Chair
“The dinners, informal meetings , and cultural workshops that AGP hosts or supports around the state are great ways to bring people together and to bridge the cultural divide. At the end of the day, the personal connections that AGP helps the start and foster are the fuel that helps Alabama grow, paving the way for future investment and building a stronger community.” – Tine Hoffmeister, AGP Executive Director
