The 57th Annual Meridian Ball brought together administration officials, members of Congress, media figures, foreign ambassadors, and international business and cultural leaders on October 24, 2025, to celebrate the enduring power of diplomacy and collaboration. This signature evening honored Meridian’s mission and, thanks to the leadership of our chairs and the generosity of our guests, supported our efforts to prepare global leaders to navigate a rapidly evolving world. The funds raised will strengthen Meridian’s exchange, training, and cultural programs that foster understanding and cooperation across borders.
