2024 Shareholder and Descendant Programs
CIRI programs aim to preserve and share culture, strengthen the CIRI family, and offer education and leadership opportunities.
CIRI’s Shareholder and Descendant programs are interconnected with CIRI’s mission and vision and weave together memorable experiences that add value to the lives of CIRI Shareholders and Descendants. Each program connects with CIRI’s diverse population in different ways, and provides unique benefits that match the interests of our Shareholders and Descendants.
The Programs department is continuously seeking opportunities to be responsive, relevant, and engaging and would love to hear from you!
