Georgia Council for International Visitors Lectures
Atlanta, GA
The Georgia Council for International Visitors (GCIV) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to "connecting Georgians to the world" since 1962. Our mission is to build cross-cultural understanding and mutually beneficial personal and professional relationships between Georgians and leading citizens from around the world. This is achieved through a variety of programs, including professional exchange programs, cultural orientations and home hospitality, networking opportunities, community education programs, and travel programs. GCIV works primarily with emerging leaders from around the world brought to this country under the auspices of the U.S. Department of State, developing professional programs for hundreds of high level international leaders in a broad spectrum of program areas each year. Our focus on citizen diplomacy provides Georgians with unique opportunities to share expertise and friendship with visitors from around the globe. GCIV also serves as the Foreign Policy Association's state coordinator.
