Hi All,
For those of you that don't know me, I'm Shoots Veis. I'm a city council member in Billings, MT. Recently I received the good news that I was selected by the German Marshall Fund to be a Marshall Memorial Fellow for 2007. For more information on the City of Billings or the German Marshall Fund please click on the links to the right.
One of the benefits of living in Montana (as most of us here see it) is that we are pretty rural and a little isolated. An appealing aspect of the fellowship is the ability it gives me to make connections in Europe. I’m very interested in the mission of the fellowship to promote transatlantic relationships. It would be very difficult for me to make these connections in a different manner.
While I wish I had the budget to take all of you with me on the trip, so that we all could make transatlantic connections, that isn't a possibility. But I would like to take all of you with me virtually – through this blog.
My goal is to take as many Montanan's and kindred souls on this trip as I can. I will be using this blog to communicate with you before and during the trip. I hope to give updates of how the trip is going and provide insight as to what I’m learning on the trip.
