The event, which honors the Georgia Consular Corps, provided a Roaring 20’s evening of fine dining, dancing, entertainment from Stella Entertainment, and networking on a global scale. Over the course of the evening, the Consular's Ball gave their sincerest appreciation to the organizations which support the International Consular Ball, providing GCIV with the means to connect the citizens of Georgia to the world.
