Robert E. Cartwright, Jr. | Honorary Consul of Iceland

I succeeded to the post of Vice Consul in January 1997, upon the retirement of the Honorable Gunnhildur Lorensen, and subsequently to the post of Consul. I am happy for the opportunity to be of service!

Although I was not born in Iceland, my Icelandic roots are strong, and I am very proud of my Icelandic heritage. Icelanders in Northern California have accomplished much to be proud of and I am pleased and honored to be the new head of the post of the Icelandic Consulate for San Francisco. I believe I am well suited to serve the interests of Iceland, as well as of the local Icelandic community.

– Robert E. Cartwright, Jr.
