World Leaders Visit Greater Cincinnati

In the month of August, Cincinnati hosted 3 delegations of world leaders through the U.S. Department of State’s premier exchange program, International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP).

The visitors travelled from 2 countries including Pakistan and Iraq. The GCWAC relies on the commitment and skills of our community to develop local professional relationships and showcase Midwest hospitality. This month, our community truly helped to engage the world leaders on topics that included Strengthening Civil Society: Building Resilience Against Violent Extremism, Improving Government Responsiveness, and Countering Gender Based Violence through Coalition Building.
