The Lebanese American Renaissance Partnership missions to Lebanon are organized in collaboration with a partner organization in Beirut. They are held at a premier hotel in downtown Beirut. Our foreseeable LARP III mission and goals are to help lift up the spirit of the Lebanese people and strengthen the bridge between the business community in Lebanon and its counterpart in the Diaspora. On each mission we choose a Lebanese emigrant business leader to head the trip and receive the Corporate Leader Award. We bestow the Lifetime Achievement Award on a government official who has made a difference in bettering Lebanese institutions.
