International Visitors Programs-The Organization coordinates professional visits and training programs to Oregon for approximately 250-500 current and emerging leaders from around the world each year. These visitors are top business, professional, cultural, and youth leaders, and promising emerging leaders. They are connected with their professional counterparts in Oregon for meetings, or come for week to month-long professional trainings. The visitors come through high-profile programs such as the U.S. Department of States International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP), the USAID-sponsored Community Connections Program, and the Open World Program-the only international exchange through the U.S. Legislative Branch. While IVLP participants stay in hotels, the remaining groups often stay with local volunteer host families. The International Visitors Program enables cross-cultural conversations and facilitates professional knowledge exchange between Oregonians and the world. An International Visitors Advisory Council helps provide professional resources input to this work.
