Thank You for Supporting
Poland Business Week
Thank you very much for your invaluable support of the
Poland Business Week program. It is exciting to see this
program grow in Poland, expanding to new cities and
allowing more students to take part. As the driving force
behind the program, your efforts helped hundreds of high
school students gain important experience and inspired
them to become successful entrepreneurs.
My staff at the Embassy who participated in Poland
Business Week commented that it is one of the best youth
programs they have seen in Poland. They were impressed
at how much the students achieved in just one week,
becoming more confident and enthusiastic every day. We
appreciate that the sessions go beyond strictly business
education, but teach the young people to believe in
themselves, take risks, and seek out new opportunities. We
would be excited to see the program grow further in Poland,
and you can count on the Embassy’s support in the future.
I hope you enjoyed your trip to Poland, including the
meeting with the regional business representatives at
Governor Zaborowski’s office. I look forward to seeing
you next summer.

P.S. from Business Week
My name is Kevin A. Walker and you sponsored me this
week in the Western Washington University Business Week
Program. Thank you. I live in Bellevue but I attend Issaquah
High School and will be a junior this coming school year.
I am the chief executive officer of Company H. Being
the CEO has given me valuable business and leadership
experience. I’ve always had business in the back of my
mind as a career choice, but this week has made me much
more confident in a business career. Thank you for giving
me this opportunity.
This week has done so much for me in providing business and leadership experience. I can’t thank you enough
for sponsoring me. Look for me in the future of business.
Kevin Walker, Student
Issaquah High School, Issaquah

Let us never forget those that died tragically 10
years ago today. And may we always remember
the sense of unity we immediately felt after.

What’s the difference between a kindergarten,
& 50 states deciding on a nominating calendar?
A kindergarten has adult supervision.
