Albuquerque Council for International Visitors (ACIV) is an affiliate of the National Council for International Visitors (NCIV) based in Washington, D.C. We are one of 92 U.S., non-profit centers dedicated to promoting global understanding through citizen diplomacy. One of the ways we foster global understanding is by facilitating the International Visitor Leadership Program sponsored by the U.S. Department of State. In New Mexico, we host approximately 150 international emerging leaders through this program each year.
ACIV staff arranges meetings between these international emerging leaders and their professional counterparts to discuss common interests and to share ideas. These appointments often lead to continued contact overseas with mutual benefits. When appropriate, the ACIV guests visit schools in the community to share their culture with our students. We also invite ACIV members to meet socially with these distinguished guests at receptions held throughout the year. ACIV members host our international visitors in their homes to help provide a better understanding of American culture and to add a bit of warm New Mexico hospitality.
