You won't want to miss IVCLA's first one-day summit on Wednesday, May 13th when we will explore the future of global communication and how it is being transformed by technology. The summit, which celebrates IVCLA's 35th Anniversary and the U.S. Department of State's International Visitor Leadership Program's 75th Anniversary, is part of a nation-wide series co-hosted by the U.S. Department of State and Global Ties U.S.
By attending the summit you will be part of the dialogue about the Los Angeles area's role in global connections through its thriving Silicon Beach and the entrepreneurial spirit that feeds it; the importance of STEM education, locally as well as its role in U.S. foreign policy; science, technology and innovation as global endeavors, and their implications for global trade to the L.A. region.
IVCLA's mission is to create international understanding and cooperation between the Los Angeles region and the rest of the world through citizen diplomacy. Citizen diplomacy is the concept that the individual citizen has the right - indeed the responsibility - to help shape foreign relations. In an era of increasing globalization, more and more people develop their most lasting impressions through face-to-face, personal encounters. Citizen Diplomats are a powerful force in defining the United States to the rest of the world and giving U.S. citizens greater understanding about today's world. In this time of global turmoil, the international dialogues we facilitate are vital to creating a more peaceful world.
We hope you will join us for a fascinating day at LMU!
