Meridian believes that leaders who have a global view, cultural awareness, peer networks, and the ability to collaborate produce stronger outcomes. Through our Center for Cultural Diplomacy, we develop unique programs that increase cross-cultural understanding and strengthen relationships between the U.S. and countries around the world. These programs include exhibitions, trainings, and conferences, as well as cultural intelligence sessions, artist exchanges, and educational programming that provide emerging and established leaders with a forum for learning and engaging across borders. By understanding the impact of cultural diplomacy, private and public sector leaders are better positioned to form relationships that set the foundation for increased business opportunities, long-lasting partnerships, and innovation through collaboration.
