Our Mission

Meridian International Center empowers the next era of leaders to advance diplomacy for a better future.

    Our Vision

    In a rapidly changing world marked by geopolitical instability and shifting alliances, international collaboration—and American leadership in the world - has never been more critical—or more complex. Meridian is redefining diplomacy for this moment by opening it to leaders beyond traditional channels. From business executives and scientists to governors and mayors, artists and athletes, we connect leaders with the insights, networks, and resources they need to tackle challenges that no single government can solve alone.
Our programs are an on-ramp for leaders to connect with their government and diplomatic counterparts and gain the global insights, networks, and resources needed to be a force multiplier for diplomacy.
Guided by a vision of a secure, free, and prosperous world, Meridian supports the United States in shaping a better future for all.
