Bureau Of Educational and Cultural Affairs

Description

The Global Leaders Division (formerly the Professional Fellows Division) in the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) Office of Citizen Exchanges invites proposal submissions for the FY 2021 Professional Fellows Congress program to conduct two Professional Congress capstone events for the FY 2021 Professional Fellows Programs. U.S. public and private non-profit organizations meeting the provisions described in Internal Revenue Code section 26 USC 501(c)(3) may submit proposals to conduct three-day Professional Fellows Congress events in fall 2022 and spring 2023. The Professional Fellows Program is a two-way global exchange program designed to promote mutual understanding, enhance leadership and professional skills, and build lasting and sustainable partnerships between mid-level emerging leaders from foreign countries and the United States. The Professional Fellows Congress brings all non-U.S. participants together at the end of their fellowship program and provides a larger context for their shared experiences, promotes collaboration, introduces them to alumni and other resources, and strengthens the Professional Fellows Program’s role as a vital element of U.S. public diplomacy. Please see the full announcement for additional information.
