The success of the “2007 U.S. Language Summits” sparked The Language Flagship to initiate a new metropolitan-based series this year focused on the language skills needed by business and the role the business sector can play to advance language education in the United States. The “Metro Language Series” kicked off in the Spring of 2008 with concerted think tank sessions in San Francisco and Seattle, followed by several more sessions on the East Coast. Conceived as a partnership between education, government and business, Flagship continues to engage the business sector in defining the future of language education in the U.S.
