Dear GLL members and friends,
What a month it was! Every week we shared inspiring stories of Lithuanians worldwide contributing to our country with their talent, persistent effort, and vision. At the GLL Forum, we discussed the further potential of diaspora collaborations in the fields of business, education, public governance.
As the season of Global Lithuanian Awards 2020 is coming to an end, we would like to extend our appreciation to everyone who made this celebration happen despite the current obstacles:
Our biggest applause and greeting go to all Laureates of the Global Lithuanian Awards 2020. We surely hope this Award will serve you as an inspiration for your further endeavors! Meet all the laureates 2020 here >>

New Prospects for Diaspora Engagement |
|
|
|
The discussion with the newly elected Government at the GLL Forum has given hope for closer cooperation and broader diaspora engagement to strengthen Lithuania as a country of Talent and Innovation. Following the discussion, GLL along with Clubs of Professionals, and numerous members of a wider network accumulated and presented the Government with an extensive proposal for more effective diaspora inclusion in the fields of Economy and Public Sector. We are now looking forward to discussing it in person with Prime Minister Ingrida Šimonytė and the Cabinet. We will keep you posted on the updates on our Facebook and Linkedin.

After 30 years of independence, the first generation of entrepreneurs has grown up in Lithuania, which is gradually beginning to think about transferring property to future generations.
