Social secretaries and cultural attachés are the behind-the-scenes architects of diplomacy in our nation's capital, helping to bridge cultures, foster international goodwill, and build the relationships that underpin foreign policy. Each year, Meridian brings together members of the diplomatic corps, government, and cultural institutions to honor these professionals for their critical contributions to global engagement.
