Dear Friends,
Summer is around the corner and with it come some very special events and visiting citizen diplomacy delegations. We are delighted to announce the topic of our final Great Decisions of this academic year, Refugee Resettlement: The Massachusetts End of the Pipeline. Join us for this unusual perspective on the global refugee crisis, with two of the state's leading experts on refugee resettlement, followed by a special reception featuring key area refugee and immigrant organizations.
On the Citizen Diplomacy side of the WorldBoston house we will host six international delegations, including our first LGBTQ citizen diplomacy group. These activists from around the world will be studying human and civil rights in the LGBTQ community. On June 22 we are holding a networking evening with the delegation to welcome them to Boston.
Don't forget to
register for tomorrow's Chat & Chowder - our last before the summer break. You won't want to miss Elizabeth Wood's insights on the
roots of Russia's war in Ukraine.
We hope to see you all soon!
Best regards,
Mary P. Yntema
President & CEO

The International Visitors Leadership Program (IVLP) is the U.S. Department of State's premier professional exchange program and WorldBoston's main citizen diplomacy partner. Launced in 1940, the IVLP is a professional exchange program that seeks to build mutual understanding between the U.S. and other nations through carefully designed short-term visits to the U.S. for current and emerging foreign leaders. These visits reflect the International Visitors' professional interests and support the foreign policy goals of the United States.
The U.S. Department of State's bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs adminsters the IVLP. In doing so, the bureau enters cooperative agreements with National Program Agences, a group of private, not-for-profit organizations based in Washington, D.C., that design and implement national IVLP itineraries. In addition to the National Program Agencies, the IVLP relies on the commitment and skills of local community organizations across the U.S., known as Centers for International Visitors (CIVs). Under the professional association of Global Ties U.S., local CIV members develop professional programs, arrange cultural activies, and provide home hospitality for international visitors.
WorldBoston is part of the Global Ties Network of more than 90 CIVs in 45 states.
