SIETAR is an interdisciplinary professional and service organization. Its purpose is to promote and implement cooperative interaction and effective communication among people of diverse cultures, races, and ethnic groups. The objective of SIETAR is to encourage development and application of knowledge, values, and skills underlying effective intercultural, interracial, and interethnic actions at the individual, group, organization, and community levels.

SIETAR started in 1968 in the US with former Peace Corps volunteers. The organization is now more international than American. There are 14 chapters around the world, with four chapters in the US and two in Canada. For more information, visit the SIETAR web site, especially the history pages.
