On October 12-13, 2023, Utah Global Diplomacy hosted Ambassador Ronald Neumann for a program focused on the Blueprints Report.

The program included a breakfast in partnership with World Trade Center Utah that included local policymakers, key global business leaders, and other community leaders in a discussion on Utah's role promoting foreign relations.

Ambassador Neumann was interviewed by Inside Sources KSLRadio host, Boyd Matheson, about where diplomacy currently exists in safeguarding Americans abroad, strengthening national security, and fueling American trade, and how we can fix some of the recent setbacks America has experienced on the world- wide stage. Watch the full interview.

Ambassador Neumann also met with undergraduate students at Westminster University to discuss the state of the U.S. State Department and how students can become more engaged in diplomatic efforts locally, across the nation, and around the world.

Finally, Ambassador Neumann was featured as the guest speaker for the Tribute Dinner intended to thank Global Utah's volunteers and donors.
