Composed of four board members and twelve general members, the Pueblo Sister Cities Commission is as diverse as the city it represents. We are business owners, teachers, and political representatives. We are proud of our own family heritage and proud to open Pueblo's heritage up to the rest of the world. As open-minded individuals we appreciate the true value of international partnerships in today's global society, and what it can offer to all sides of the spectrum.

The Pueblo Sister Cities Program seeks to enrich partnerships and provide real-world learning opportunities for any and all citizens of Pueblo and its Sister Cities. As a multi-cultural organization, the Sister Cities Program provides local governments, businesses and countless volunteers the chance to share ideas, values and good times alike. Meetings are held at 5:15 p.m. on the first Thursday of each month at the City Managers Conference Room on the 2nd Floor of Pueblo City Hall.
