ALI Insights: 2023 Year in Review

2023 ALI Year in Review

As 2023 concludes, we at the American Leadership Initiative are reflecting on a very successful year as we continue to grow. We are grateful to our members and community for your commitment to advancing U.S. values and leadership globally.

ALI has responded to the need to address tough questions that cut across U.S. global leadership, new trade paradigms, U.S.- China relations, industrial policy, digital policy, and climate change. We hosted numerous congressional leaders and senior Administration officials this year, bringing together policy makers, business and civil society,

ALI will continue to champion our vision in 2024 with a series of conversations addressing the challenges leading up to the election. We are also excited to announce our second annual retreat in March.

To ensure access to our exclusive events and content, we invite you to consider ALI membership by emailing Info@american-leadership.org. Follow us on twitter at @AmerIntLead. We welcome you to join the conversation!

Wishing you a peaceful holiday season from the ALI team!
