At a time of increasing global complexity, international exchange programs remain among the United States’ most effective tools for strengthening relationships, advancing competitiveness, and building enduring people-to-people ties. These programs support communities across all 50 states, expand economic opportunity, strengthen national security, and cultivate the next generation of global leaders.
For more than 65 years, Meridian has partnered with the U.S. Department of State and a broad network of public and private sector leaders to advance international exchanges, including longstanding collaboration on the International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP) and other flagship initiatives.
We are encouraged to see renewed bipartisan support for these vital programs and look forward to engaging with the Caucus and its members in the years ahead.
