About us
The Global Philadelphia Association (GPA) was created to assist—and to encourage greater interaction among—the many organizations and people who are engaged in one form or other of international activity in the Greater Philadelphia Region, to promote the development of an international consciousness within the region, and to enhance the region’s global profile. The Greater Philadelphia Region boasts a wealth of international organizations, globally-minded citizens, and other world-class resources, yet they frequently work in isolation and often do not get the recognition that they deserve. As a first step, GPA will showcase the organizations, businesses, people, events and activities that contribute to the region’s international character through an online “information commons," providing local citizens and the world community at large with ready access to one another, to events, and to new possibilities. This online hub, presiding at www.globalphiladelphia.org, will be the central resource for all things international in the region. GPA will also support its members and the larger community in a variety of other ways, assisting them to find and take advantage of international opportunities, to grow and gain greater recognition, and to interact creatively with one another and the world. Together we can build a bold and exciting international brand for Greater Philadelphia.

As the Flame passes through these iconic sites, it symbolizes the unity and diversity of our shared human heritage.

A new bell in our historic city! Let freedom ring.
A symbol of freedom and Philadelphia's deep ties with the United Kingdom is back on display in Independence National Historical Park ahead of America's 250th anniversary. 🔔 Today, the ribbon was cut on the fully rehabilitated Benjamin Rush Garden, home to the Bicentennial Bell, a gift received from Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the people of Great Britain in 1976. British Consul General Hannah Young, Independence Historical Trust Board Chair Bill Marrazzo, IHT Director of Development Jonathan Burton, Pennsylvania State Senator Nikil Saval, Philadelphia 2026 Director Michael Newmuis, and additional officials made remarks to honor the occasion. The bell resided in storage until April 2024, when it was installed at its new home as one of several projects that will welcome visitors for the country’s semi-quincentennial in 2026. #discoverPHL #Philadelphia #America250 British American Business Council of Greater Philadelphia
