Coffee With Emerging Leaders
Monthly Jan-Nov
Coffee with Emerging Leaders is an intimate monthly event for International Focus members to meet and connect with International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP) delegates. Visitors will informally introduce themselves, share professional objectives, and speak about their experience in their homeland and the US. Typically, the event draws about ten to fifteen attendees, allowing for direct exchange with diplomatic visiotors.
Come mingle with international visitors, leverage your connections around the world and be an IF Ambassador!
