International Visitor Leadership Program, 70th Anniversary

Now in its 70th year, the International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP) is the U.S. Department of State's premier professional exchange program. The IVLP connects current and emerging foreign leaders with their American counterparts through short-term programs that foster greater coordination, communication, and collaboration on foreign policy issues. The IVLP has a profound and positive impact on the participants -- and their 80,000 American hosts -- to bridge cultural and political divides and cultivate lasting relationships that help address the challenges that face us all. Nearly 200,000 distinguished individuals have participated in the International Visitor Leadership Program, including more than 300 current and former Chiefs of State and Heads of Government, and thousands of leaders from the public and private sectors.
