Mission
The Londonderry International Exchange Committee (LIEC) was formed in 1992 for the purpose of “developing cultural and other ties appropriate to sister city relationship with the City of Vologda, Russia” as well as “any future established relationships”. The resolution between Vologda and Londonderry states “..friendly ties contribute greatly to peace, friendship and mutual understanding”. LIEC is responsible for coordination and development of programs, communications, and fund raising activities that support international visits from our Russian sister city.
Since 1993, LIEC has hosted visits from a girl’s basketball team, children’s ballet, puppet theater, police delegation, chamber orchestra and opera stars. With every visit, LIEC strives to organize the best cultural exchange possible for all involved. Every group’s visit includes interaction with Londonderry businesses, schools, and Town Departments. The committee relies totally on donations, sponsors, and fund raising efforts. We are grateful to area families, organizations and businesses that have donated so generously in the past. Anyone interested in any kind of involvement with our exchanges (you don’t need to be a member), or becoming a sponsor, please contact the International Exchange Committee at Town Hall
