ABOUT PTPI

People to People International (PTPI) was founded on September 11, 1956 by U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower.  He believed if contact could be made directly among the world's people, citizen diplomacy and global friendships would endure.  His granddaughter, Mary, makes PTPI her life's work, serving as president and chief executive officer.
