About Us

The Colorado Springs International Affairs Advisory Council (CSIAAC) is a group of Colorado Springs leaders appointed by the Mayor and City Council of Colorado Springs. For information on membership you may contact George Boutin at the Office of International Affairs.

The CSIAAC was established by the Mayor and City Council to develop and implement a global strategic plan and to recommend how best to increase involvement of citizens and organizations of Colorado Springs in world affairs and to assist the area’s businesses to enhance their competitiveness in the global marketplace.

One of the first actions the CSIAAC was to establish the Colorado Springs Office of International Affairs (OIA). This CSIAAC/OIA “team” provides links to information on travel and tourism, maintains extensive amounts of information and links on trade development, and is a portal for information, international education and cultural activities in Colorado Springs.
