Raclette, a semihard Alpine cow's milk cheese native to the Swiss Alps, has exceptional melting properties and is traditionally served in fondue and raclette dinners where it's melted and scraped over boiled potatoes.

Consul General Urs Brönnimann joined the Atlanta post in August 2022. His previous posts include Chicago, Washington, D.C., five postings in Latin America, two in Europe, and some short-term assignments in Asia, Europe and Africa.

He is excited to join the team in Atlanta to continue to provide outstanding service to the Swiss community and to foster the strong relationship between Switzerland and the United States. As a jazz aficionado, the new Swiss Consul General is also particularly excited to dive into the thriving music scene of the South.

This is a priceless opportunity! Date to be mutually agreed upon by both parties. Expires in 1 (one) year on September 17, 2023.
