When business, nonprofit, government, and academic leaders from around the world connect with their counterparts in the U.S. through international exchange programs, the relationships they forge become a powerful tool for addressing some of our biggest global challenges. For 60 years, Global Ties U.S. has been making these kinds of connections possible. As a nonprofit partner of the U.S. Department of State, we sustain a network that coordinates international exchange programs and brings current and future leaders from around the world to communities throughout the United States. We provide our members—from large, national organizations to small, community-based ones serving all 50 states and more than 40 countries—with connections, leadership development, and professional resources, so that they are the strongest, most effective organizations they can be. The leaders who participate in international exchanges—and the communities that host them—benefit from greater knowledge, further understanding, and deeper relationships. These shared experiences result in stronger local communities and a more peaceful, prosperous world.

A big thank you to Global New Orleans for welcoming Mexican law enforcement officials to New Orleans for a U.S. Department of State Law Enforcement and Security Exchange Program (LESEP) on combating gender-based violence. Participants exchanged knowledge with U.S. counterparts on recognizing warning signs of abuse, raising awareness of gender-based violence, and learning about the types of support available to survivors. The #InternationalExchange began with a keynote address from Walter Wolf, lawyer and Intellectual Property Rights Manager for the National World War II Museum, who gave an overview of New Orleans’ law enforcement agencies. Participants also visited the Eden Centers for Hope and Healing to learn about their work addressing human trafficking and violence against women and learned about academic research in the field of gender-based violence at the Newcomb Institute at Tulane University. The group also visited the City of New Orleans Health Department and the Covenant House New Orleans to learn about cooperative strategies between agencies in combating gender-based violence.

We are thrilled to share that findings from our new 2024 Global Ties U.S. Community Impact Study confirm that U.S. participation in #InternationalExchange programs like the International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP) generate positive impacts for U.S. workforce development and community-building. The study received responses from 773 people from 53 local organizations in 28 states, covering every geographic region of the United States and with respondents having decades of combined experience hosting international leaders through exchange programs. More than 72% of respondents said their involvement in exchanges like the #IVLP increased their global knowledge, civic engagement, professional reputation, and international connectivity. New qualitative questions expanded on the quantitative findings to give greater insights into this year's report. Shared Global Ties U.S. President and CEO Katherine A. Brown, Ph.D.: “This second Community Impact study validates last year’s findings, and yields a deeper understanding of why exchanges matter for our nationwide respondents and their communities. Global Ties Network members most recently reported in our National Impact report an 8:1 return on the investment made in their communities through federal exchange programs, and this study goes beyond the economic impact to measure socio-cultural benefits. Taken together, the data illuminates the power of exchange right here at home.” The 2024 Community Impact Study was led by Cherie Saulter, Ph.D. and builds upon preliminary findings from a February 2023 study carried out in partnership with the University of Southern California USC Center on Public Diplomacy. Research was funded by the U.S. Department of State and implemented by Global Ties U.S. in collaboration with local Community-Based Members across the United States.

#CitizenDiplomacy is the idea that all individuals have the ability to make an impact on foreign relations through people-to-people interactions with international visitors. Meet Dr. Daisy Khan, D.Min, head of the Women’s Islamic Initiative in Spirituality and Equality (WISE), who's been doing just that for 25+ years. Shared Daisy: "Citizen diplomats play a critical role in preserving the core values of the United States The one-on-one dialogue between thought leaders at the grassroots level paves a way forward for safeguarding and amplifying these values for the future." We spoke with Daisy about the power of individuals, the impact of the International Visitor Leadership Program (#IVLP), and winning the #GlobalTies2024 Citizen Diplomat Award.
