Strengthening National Security by Building Bridges of Global Connection: 2026 IVLP So Far
More than halfway through 2026 and our year has been full of fostering global connections and exchanging ideas. In partnership with the U.S. Department of State we are so fortunate to be a part of the International Visitors Leadership Program (IVLP), the United States’ premiere professional exchange program that deepens ties between the U.S. and other nations. Through IVLP, our national security is strengthened, advancing U.S. foreign policy goals for current and emerging foreign leaders.
From tech innovation to trafficking mitigation, delegates visiting our region have had the unique experience of meeting with community leaders and members to build mutual understanding through similar professional backgrounds. IVLP stands out as one of the most prestigious and impactful exchange programs.
By the end of August we will have had 14 delegations with 116 participating delegates.
We are proud to showcase the spirit of the United States for its 250th year, the spirit of the World Affairs Council for its 103rd year, and look forward to continuing to do so.
