슬롯머신 Celebrates Relaunch of the Coalition for American Public Diplomacy and Leadership (CAPDL)

Today, the Coalition for American Public Diplomacy and Leadership (CAPDL) announced its relaunch with a focus on education, best practices sharing, and storytelling in support of the whole BridgeUSA community.

Founded in 2020, CAPDL is an independent non-profit whose mission today is to strengthen and expand the US Department of State슬롯사이트�s BridgeUSA programs by:

• Educating key constituents on the history and power of BridgeUSA to advance US public diplomacy, national security, and economic prosperity and
• Cultivating a global network of supporters who promote best practices in BridgeUSA program delivery.

슬롯사이트�I am excited to see CAPDL bring together so many constituencies and beneficiaries of BridgeUSA,슬롯사이트� said CAPDL Board Member and Former Senior Advisor to the Assistant Secretary of State for Educational and Cultural Affairs Rick Ruth. 슬롯사이트�I am honored to be on the board of CAPDL, because 슬롯사이트� in my mind 슬롯사이트� all BridgeUSA programs are about learning [which] leads to understanding, the most valuable commodity in the world.슬롯사이트�

CAPDL membership is open to hosts, international agents, sponsors, alumni, service providers, chambers of commerce, community groups, and allies of all sizes and locations.

슬롯사이트�By welcoming all stakeholders around the world, CAPDL can advance excellence and deliver even more benefits to participants and the United States,슬롯사이트� noted CAPDL Executive Director Carmen Iezzi Mezzera. 슬롯사이트�There is so much we can achieve together.슬롯사이트�

Thanks to the generosity of its incubating host, the Council for International Educational Exchange (슬롯머신), CAPDL will not assess dues for the first year of operation. Instead, all support during this time will go to the new Scholarship Fund for BridgeUSA. The Scholarship Fund will enable individuals to participate in any of the thirteen categories via any CAPDL member.

"Our BridgeUSA community grows stronger when we engage all stakeholders," says Carye Duffin, CAPDL Board Chair and 슬롯머신 Senior Vice President of External Affairs. "By cultivating an inclusive environment focused on best practices, we create a powerful culture of shared learning and accountability 슬롯사이트� ensuring that we uphold the highest standards to protect and expand these life-changing programs. Additionally, through our commitment to storytelling, we can complement others슬롯사이트� work and ensure that more communities across the US recognize the transformative impact of BridgeUSA programs."
